Abstract
The provisions of international instruments call for cooperation among states for their effective implementation. Unfortunately, in most cases it does not occur so until an incident takes place. Following the events of 9/11 and the UN Resolutions related to them, several worldwide security enterprises have taken place. The Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPP) is a trilateral initiative, launched on March 2005, which is intended to increase cooperation and information sharing in an effort to enhance prosperity and security in the United States, Canada, and Mexico. The SPP considers two agendas: the prosperity agenda and the security agenda.
