Abstract:
On the XXV Conference of the Inter-American Bar Association, in Acapulco, Mexico, several papers were submitted for the Committee on Criminal Law and Procedure. Bruce Zagaris, the Committee's Chairman, submitted a paper, entitled "Cooperation in the Issuance of Subpoenas and Other Mutual Assistance of Criminal Matters in the Americas." The paper outlines the need for enhanced international criminal cooperation due to increasing transnational crime in the Americas, and discusses the role of different types of subpoenas in this cooperation.
