• Abstract:
  Haiti is a significant transshipment conduit for South American cocaine destined for the United States. This smuggling is facilitated by Haiti's system of seaports which remain largely unmonitored. Smuggling and trafficking contraband merchandise aversely impacts on the longevity of legitimate commercial activity and economic development in the country. The first paper addresses the vulnerabilities that must be dealt with in establishing maritime security for Haiti. The second paper in this report addresses growing need for cooperation to address the increasing scope and multinational aspects of maritime security.
