So serious is the threat of international crime, Gelbard said, that President Clinton told the 50th anniversary of the United Nations in New York in October that he was proposing a five-part plan to attack the problem. Among the new initiatives Clinton proposed was possible sanctions on nations and financial institutions that allow illicit funds to be laundered through their financial systems. In addition, Gelbard said, Clinton's initiatives included an executive order to freeze U.S. assets of front companies and individuals associated with the Cali cartel and to prohibit U.S. firms from conducting business with them. The president also called on members of the United Nations to negotiate a Universal Declaration on Citizens Security that would "affirm the serious threat to world security that international crime poses and demonstrate a global commitment to combat it." Gelbard said the administration also believes that the business community must do its part to stop the globalization of organized crime and make clear they will not tolerate illegal and unethical business practices. The president, Gelbard said, has made it clear that the key to success against criminal organizations is government-to-government cooperation, as well as through government cooperation with the private sector. The battle against the world's international criminals will not be a quick or easy one, Gelbard acknowledged. "A problem that has been long in the making will not be solved overnight. But that does not mean we cannot make serious inroads into it." NNNN
