UN Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime

The UN Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime is an international agreement aimed at combating serious crimes that cross borders, such as human trafficking, drug trafficking, and money laundering. It encourages countries to work together by setting common standards, improving laws, and sharing information to prevent and prosecute these crimes more effectively. The Convention also includes protocols addressing specific issues like trafficking in persons and arms. Its overall goal is to strengthen global cooperation, enhance legal frameworks, and reduce organized crime’s impact on societies worldwide.
