drug trafficking
This is a report from an international cooperation organization working on drug traffic control in Latin America. The context is:
El proyecto organizó y realizó el Taller sobre la aplicación de instrumentos y procedimientos en procesos de narcotráfico ... Como resultado del taller se logró uniformar las actas fundamentales para el cuaderno de investigación en delitos de narcotráfico, protocolos de destrucción de drogas y otros instrumentos...
What might "actas fundamentales" mean? I suppose it's something more than just regular minutes. (Or is it not?)
Thanks very much for your help. Would be great if I could get some help in the next few hours. Deadline is approaching rapidly.

fundamental guidelines
Yo diría que son minutes pero con un carácter instructivo. Sin más contexto, esto es lo que creo pueda usarse.
Es decir son minutes que se usaran como directrices para la investigación del narcotráfico, la destrucción de drogas, etc.

crucial certificates or affidavits
According to context, the organization organized a workshop to deal with the topic of drug traffic control. The result of the workshop was that they managed to come up with a book that included a compilation ("uniformar") of protocols and crucial/important certificates or affidavits, not minutes. The use of either certificate or affidavit depends on whether or not the documents were signed before a notary.

foundational documents
In my interpretation "actas fundementales" refers to basic documents defining the principles or standards underlying the activites and procedures listed afterward. "Fundemental guidelines" is one way to express this concept, and orginizations also use the phrase "foundational documents." See the links for examples:

Estela Quintero-Weldon
: Yes, it sounds like the terms of reference - document, guidelines (not minutes of the meeting or workshop)
