Roth noted that "Asian criminal groups personify a major new threat confronting law enforcement around the globe. These new international criminals, with the aid of modern technology, such as satellite telephones, pagers, and encrypted fax machines, easily communicate with their associates around the globe. Taking advantage of relaxed international travel restrictions as well as the greatly increased volume of international trade, these new international criminals treat national borders as nothing more than minor inconveniences to their own criminal enterprises." Among the international initiatives recommended by the report: -- Consideration should be given to expanding the anti-crime role and authority of the United Nations and Interpol, an international message exchange intermediary among police agencies. -- Expanded exchanges of law enforcement personnel should be encouraged. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) should consider increasing the number of law enforcement officers from foreign counties who attend the FBI's National Academy. -- The FBI and the Immigration and Naturalization Service should consider expanded roles for their personnel stationed in U.S. embassies in Southeast Asian countries. To avoid and resolve conflicts among the various agencies, the State Department must exercise more effective control. -- Those countries which effectively serve as sanctuaries for international criminals by their refusal to extradite such criminals or to prosecute those within their boundaries should be subject to international sanctions. -- Major efforts are necessary to improve law enforcement cooperation with Taiwan. Congress should amend the Taiwan Relations Act to allow the United States and Taiwan to enter an extradition agreement. -- "Anemic Japanese law enforcement efforts against Boryokudan gangs have had an adverse impact on the United States," according to the report. The executive branch should negotiate formal and informal agreements with Japan to improve law enforcement cooperation and intelligence sharing. In addition, the State Department should amend current visa regulations to make Boryokudan membership an independent basis for denying a visa. -- Negotiations should be completed as soon as possible to ensure law enforcement cooperation between the United States and Hong Kong after 1997. U.S. consular and immigration officials must increase efforts to prevent triad members from entering the United States. NNNN .
