unites thirty five member states ranging geographically from Canada to
Chile. The foundations of the Organisation are provided by the OAS
Charter, drafted in 1948 with the aim of achieving peace, justice and
solidarity in the region. The OAS is a regional agency of the United
Nations and additionally provides a role for many third countries
via a 'permanent observer' status.

Policy Laundering Issues at OAS
In recent years,
the OAS has focused on the development of a culture of cybersecurity
and has collated members of the telecommunications industry,
representatives of the Committee against Terrorsim and legal
representatives to co-ordinate and develop ideas. Adherence to the EU
Cyber Crime Convention, which enhances governmental control of the
internet, is being advocated, particularly by the United States.
Mutual Legal
Assistance is additionally a highly popular OAS theme. Accordingly a
broad reaching convention and many resolutions and declarations
advocating undefined 'information exchange' on matters
relating to terrorism and security substantiate this issue.
