Illicit Trafficking

Illicit trafficking refers to the illegal trade of goods or substances across borders, often involving activities like smuggling drugs, arms, human beings, or wildlife. It bypasses legal channels and regulations, driven by profit rather than lawfulness. This activity can undermine legal economies, fund criminal organizations, and cause social and environmental harm. Governments and international agencies work to detect, prevent, and combat illicit trafficking through laws, enforcement, and international cooperation to protect communities and maintain legal order.
