The delegation mentioned that, among the measures to address the security challenges, El Salvador was a party to the Central American Security Strategy, an instrument that from a comprehensive perspective guided the coordinated actions on security adopted by the eight countries in the region. 28. El Salvador had also focused its efforts on fighting crime and corruption and promoting transparency. Hence, a number of laws had been adopted: Law on Access to Public Information, Special Law for Intervention Telecommunications, Law against Money and Asset Laundering, Special Law on the Forfeiture and Administration of Goods of Illicit Origin or Destination and Government Ethics Law. 29. In addition to that important legislation, the Administration had sponsored the development of technological tools, such as the portal on transparency and open government, and the adoption of public policies and mechanisms of social control, such as accountability of public institutions and citizens’ participation. 30. The fight against trafficking had also been a priority for El Salvador. The National Council against Trafficking was the body responsible `for the formulation of policies and the establishment of a political and strategic long-term framework for a comprehensive approach to trafficking. El Salvador announced with satisfaction that it had already adopted a Special Law against Trafficking in Persons. 31. Fighting crime was associated with another problem faced by El Salvador: prison overcrowding. On this issue, the Government had already received a number of recommendations from the Rapporteur on Persons Deprived of Liberty of the Organization of American States and the Working Group on Arbitrary Detention after their visits in 2010 and 2012 respectively. In addition, the Legislative Assembly was considering a draft law that would allow the use of alternative technologies to ensure surveillance and attendance of persons charged in a judicial process. 32.
