PRIORITIES IN INTRODUCTORY CALL BY AMBASSADOR 
 
REF: A. BUENOS AIRES 1160 
     B. DEA 05 2018Z NOV 09 
 
1. (SBU) Summary: In the Ambassador's introductory courtesy 
call, Argentine Minister of Justice Alak welcomed USG 
interest in deepening cooperation on counter-narcotics, 
trafficking-in-persons (TIP) and other security issues.  The 
Minister requested USG help in developing a national security 
plan and a national security studies institute, and he sought 
"urgent" help in designing appropriate passport security 
features for a new, government-produced passport.  End 
Summary. 
 
2. (SBU) Argentine Minister of Justice, Security and Human 
Rights Julio Alak warmly received the Ambassador on November 
5 for her introductory call at the Ministry (the two had met 
previously during a U.S.-sponsored training of Argentina's 
elite rapid reaction police force, the GEOF).  Alak voiced 
appreciation for the broad and effective cooperation received 
from various elements in the Embassy, mentioning in 
particular a recent seizure (by the Uruguayan Coast Guard) of 
a major cocaine shipment transiting Argentina (ref B).  Alak 
said that the Argentines had pursued the case, involving 
Croatian traffickers, for two months based on information 
provided by the U.S. DEA. 
 
3. (SBU) Alak also voiced appreciation for the Embassy's 
advocacy on behalf of Police Commissioner Jorge Valleca, who 
was elected Vice President of Interpol for the Americas in 
September.  Alak described with satisfaction Interpol plans 
to establish a training center for the Americas in Buenos 
Aires, an establishment he said would be Interpol's second 
largest institutional presence after the headquarters in Lyon. 
 
4. (SBU) Ambassador voiced appreciation as well for the good 
cooperation between GOA law enforcement agencies and their 
American counterparts on issues such as counter-terrorism, 
counter-narcotics, and international crime.  She thanked the 
Minister for inviting the Embassy Law Enforcement Working 
Group to make presentations to him on their priorities and 
recommendations (ref A). 
 
5. (SBU) Ambassador then described her strong interest in 
helping Argentina address its challenges with 
trafficking-in-persons (TIP).  She noted Argentina's 
impressive gains, including passage of a national law in 2008 
and many law enforcement raids over the course of the year, 
with over 300 persons rescued from forced activities, in many 
cases prostitution.  She emphasized the critical importance 
of Argentina authorities doing more to prosecute and convict 
traffickers as a deterrent to the activity. 
 
6. (SBU) Minister Alak expressed agreement on the importance 
of addressing TIP.  He described it as a "terrible crime, 
especially as it affected girls forced into prostitution." 
Alak said that the GOA was considering legal reforms to 
require provincial governments to impose new restrictions on 
the informal night clubs that serve as informal brothels 
(Organized prostitution is already illegal, yet is more or 
less tolerated by many of the provinces.) 
 
7. (SBU) Minister Alak described a top medium-term priority 
as developing a national security plan (see ref A).  He 
showed the Ambassador an outline of the proposal he would 
present to the President before proceeding.  The outline 
appeared to touch on all of the obvious law enforcement 
challenges in the country, including drugs, TIP, terrorism 
and money laundering. 
 
8. (SBU) The Minister requested urgent help in understanding 
U.S. passport security features.  He said that the GOA had 
decided not to renew a private contract for the production of 
its passports and would be turning the function over to the 
Casa de Moneda (essentially the Bureau of Printing and 
Engraving).  Alak tied plans to upgrade the Argentine 
passport to returning to the U.S. visa waiver program. 
Embassy will follow-up with Alak's staff to better understand 
their plans and needs before developing a request for 
technical assistance from Washington. 
 
9. (SBU)  Comment:  The meeting confirmed our earlier 
positive impression of Minister Alak's enthusiasm for working 
with the USG and his seriousness in tackling Argentina's many 
law enforcement challenges.  He (and we) would benefit 
enormously from a visit to law enforcement agencies and other 
 
USG dependencies in the United States.  We will work to make 
such a visit happen.
