Latest Special Reports
Government statistics reveal that there are at least 90 express kidnappings in Mexico City each day, a statistic that is believed to be far below actual numbers, as the majority are believed to go unreported. Throughout Latin America, express kidnappings or quicknappings, a kidnapping in which a victim is abducted for a brief period of time and released following the payment of a small ransom, have emerged as one of the most common crimes in recent years. The lack of significant reporting and investigating of express kidnappings, paired with the ease with which quicknapping can be carried out, without significant infrastructure or planning has led to a surge in the crime throughout the region. ...moreThe first decade of the 21st century has seen an increasingly blurred division between organized crime groups and politically-motivated militant networks engaged in terrorism campaigns or insurgencies targeting status quo powers. While the divisions were clear in the waning years of the 20th century, when the two groups comingled rarely, perhaps only for the exchange of weapons for cash, militant networks have increasingly established independent organized crime syndicates or merged with pre-existing networks to improve their operational capabilities. ...moreGlobalization may have benefited transnational crime networks more than legitimate businesses, which must obey the laws and regulations of their domestic and host countries. Organized crime groups, meanwhile, can use globalization's growing transportation and telecommunication capabilities to operate across different legal codes, benefiting from weak transnational law enforcement. Today's transnational organized crime syndicates can smuggle drugs into one country, launder funds in another, and see its leadership flee prosecution by moving to separate jurisdictions. Transnational organized crime is a serious problem in the Asia-Pacific region, where it undermines efforts to police points of entry, corrupts local politics, and weakens the rule of law. ...moreSoutheast Asia is an increasingly attractive business and tourism destination for foreign nationals attracted to the area's growth potential, rising economies, and natural and cultural diversity. Expatriates; however, may be exposed to kidnapping and extortion threats while traveling through the region. ...moreThe weak infrastructure, telecommunication, and emergency services in developing countries (DCs) or less-developed countries (LDCs) can magnify the damage caused by natural disasters and prevent rapid relief efforts. The series of catastrophes which struck South East Asia and the Pacific region in late September and early October 2009 overwhelmed state agents whose response was often delayed and sometimes inadequate. In this environment, foreign nationals must prepare, both in the office and at home, the means to minimize loss of life, limbs, and assets during a natural disaster or other unexpected crisis. A proper Crisis Management Plan (CMP), stockpiled emergency supplies, and a crisis team should be a necessary part of every foreign business operation. Foreign nationals are advised that in DCs and LDCs catastrophes may spawn unforeseen, deadly conditions. Diseases can germinate in flooded streets and leaking sewers, while civil unrest and political crises can grow out of ineffective crisis management. Expatriate businesses must consider both how to manage the disaster and the recovery period. ...more
