•Support CARSI state and society efforts to establish efficient, transparent, and accountable prosecutorial, correctional, and alternative justice systems institutions that respect human rights.

•Assist CARSI countries in improving federal, state, and local governments' operational ability to prevent and mitigate crime and terrorism, impact transnational criminal organization (TCO) cash flow, contribute to criminal cases against TCO leaders and members, disrupt TCO trust and corruptive relationships, and safely apprehend TCO and other high target offenders.

•Improve border security, including building support to the new government's efforts to secure CARSI borders.

To meet the Congressional mandates of the CARSI Initiative, INL programs in the region include the following objectives:

•Continue to build CARSI countries capacity to disrupt and dismantle organized criminal networks, including capacity building to counter illicit finance and combat the production of, and trafficking in, illegal narcotics.

•Support the U.S. Government's goal to support CARSI state and society efforts to establish highly efficient, transparent, and accountable prosecutorial, correctional, and alternative justice institutions that respect human rights; to assist CARSI countries in improving federal, state, and local governments' operational ability to prevent and mitigate crime and terrorism, impact transnational criminal organization (TCO) cash flow, contribute to criminal cases against TCO leaders and members, disrupt TCO trust and corruptive relationship, and safely apprehend TCO and other high target offenders; and to improve border security.
