On 27 September 2016, the Minister of Justice and Human Rights of Argentina, Germán Garavano, held a meeting with the President of the International Criminal Court (ICC), Mrs. Silvia Fernández and acting president of Parliamentarians for Global Action (PGA), Dip. Margarita Stolbizer, aimed at discussing and specifying actions to support investigations of transnational crimes.

The meeting took place at the seat of the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and was further attended by the Under Secretary of Access to Justice, Maria Fernanda Rodriguez, Under Secretary of Criminal Policy, Martin Casares, the head of the Coordination Unit for International Affairs of the Ministry, Eugenio Curia, and former Member of Parliament of Argentina, Fernando Iglesias.
