This article, based on the discussions on peace and development promoted in the 2030 Agenda, seeks to reflect how SDG 16.4 can contribute to peace studies by recognizing the importance of cooperation in combating organized crime. There is a tendency in mainstream peace studies to perceive violence only in contexts of regular armed conflict, in which the state is the main unit of analysis. In this sense, we explore the following question: what are the paths of international cooperation promoted by the 2030 Agenda, in its objective 16.4, that can advance the actions of the Organization of American States? Methodologically, we have been carrying out a documentary analysis since 2015, combined with an exploratory analysis focusing on critical peace studies, as well as the observation of the current context of public security in the Latin American region. It is hoped to demonstrate the relevance of examining organized crime as an impediment to building regionally peaceful societies.
