Apia – Samoa will benefit from the United Nations Countering Terrorist Travel (CT Travel) Programme, a flagship global initiative that assists beneficiary Member States in building their capabilities to detect and counter-terrorists and serious crimes by using Advance Passenger Information (API) and Passenger Name Record (PNR) data to improve the use of international databases with known and suspected terrorists and criminals.
