Agenda
On October 22, 2017, the American Secretariat released a preliminary 30-page agenda for the 2017 summit. It outlined a number of key issues confronting the Conference and its member states, including matters regarding continental security, terrorism, labor rights, economic inequality, environment, immigration, and internal disagreement. The Secretariat recommended reevaluating the Conference's existing treaties and agreements, arguing the Conference was in need of strengthening the CAS military and collective defensive capabilities. The American Parliament rejected pushes for increased centralization of international defense, while the American Council concurred with the Secretariat.
