Inter-American Cooperation Portal on Cyber-Crime

Overview
The OAS' Inter-American Cooperation Portal on Cyber-Crime and the Working Group are two of the major outcomes of the process of Meetings of Ministers of Justice or Other Ministers or Attorneys General of the Americas (REMJA) aimed at strengthening hemispheric cooperation in the investigation and prosecution of these crimes.

The Portal was created primarily to facilitate and streamline cooperation and information exchange among government experts from OAS member states with responsibilities in the area of cybercrime or in international cooperation for its investigation and prosecution.

Meanwhile, the Working Group was established by the REMJA in 1999 as the principal hemispheric forum to strengthen international cooperation in the prevention, investigation and prosecution of cybercrime; facilitate the exchange of information and experiences among its members; and make necessary recommendations to enhance and strengthen cooperation among the OAS member states and with international organizations and mechanisms.
