Papua New Guinea Police Commissioner David Manning is calling for a regional Pacific treaty to strengthen the fight against transnational organized crime.
Speaking in Koror, Palau, Manning warned that current security arrangements are too often ad hoc. He said Pacific countries need stronger mechanisms led by the region itself.
His proposal would place the fight against transnational crime within a more formal Pacific framework, rather than relying on separate or improvised security arrangements.
