International Organized Crime and its Impact on the Ecuador-Peru Frontier

Main Article Content

Abstract

The slowdown in the world economy, the contraction of tourism, and the marked hardening of social conditions due to irregular migration in our neighboring countries has significantly impacted their development. Before the declaration of emergency in Peru and the exception in Ecuador, the common border had already suffered from a series of social problems, which were exacerbated by the implementation of sanitary restrictions, the closure of borders, and marketing restrictions, among others. This article aims to explore international organized crime and its impact on the Ecuador-Peru border, thereby analyzing the effect on the irregular migratory flow, estimating the influence on commercial exchange, and determining the presence of groups that operate outside the law. The number of human trafficking and smuggling has increased, and with these elements, they propose a model of binational police interoperability.
