AVN.- During the 4th meeting of the South American Security Council of UNASUR, held in Caracas, ministers and delegates from member countries evaluate policies to reduce crime rates in the region, as well as border offenses, said Venezuela's Minister for Interior Relations, Justice and Peace, Nestor Reverol.
In a televised address, he underscored the importance of "studying the criminal phenomena that, due to the balloon effect on the border with other countries of the region, spread to other countries, such as contract killings, extortion, kidnapping, that by balloon effect we, in our country, are victims of those crimes that are not ours and that come from the border that we have with Colombia."
He said that in recent days, when the meeting was set up, members states also discussed the possibility of creating a South American security observatory, which will allow establishing security standards that take into account indicators assessing crime and violence in the region.
The minister proposed, on behalf of the Venezuelan Government, to create a South American university of citizen security.
As part of Venezuela's participation, Reverol stressed that his country will present an overview of the Great Socialist Justice Mission, aimed at deepening the social assistance programs carried out by the Venezuelan government regarding security matters.
Likewise, he stressed that March 15 was declared, in the region, the South American Day of Voluntary Disarmament.
UNASUR is a political and economic community, founded on May 23, 2008, integrated by Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay and Venezuela.
