Organized crime is a global problem that affects governance, weakens the rule of law, and perpetuates harmful activities like human trafficking, arms trafficking, and the smuggling of migrants. The United Nations (UN) is actively fighting against transnational organized crime through its Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, which remains the primary global tool to prevent and address criminal activities. In March 2024, the General Assembly declared 15 November as the International Day for the Prevention of and Fight against All Forms of Transnational Organized Crime to raise awareness of the issue.
The UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) has been working to make the world safer from drugs, organized crime, corruption, and terrorism for more than two decades. It provides resources and publications to help tackle transnational organized crime.
The fight against global crime is a collaborative effort, and the International Day underscores the need for governments, the private sector, civil society, and individuals to work together. Join us in pushing back against organized crime and spreading awareness about this issue on November 15. Together, we can make a difference.
The impacts of organized crime are devastating, affecting individuals, communities, and economies alike. Despite these challenges, there is hope, as collective actions can achieve real change. Let's unite to make this world a safer and more just place for all.
Throughout history, crime has adapted to societal changes, and combating it requires unified and innovative strategies. The UN Convention and International Day showcase our collective commitment to preventing and combating organized crime. Let's build a world where all people can thrive in safety and peace.
