Description

Security Council adopts presidential statement on transnational organized crime, urges states to ramp up cooperation, laws, borders to combat it.
Adopting a presidential statement today, the Security Council recognized the importance of enhancing international and regional cooperation to counter transnational organized crime during a day-long open debate on that subject, in which speakers detailed national experiences with the phenomenon and discussed how best to address it.
By the text (to be issued as document S/PRST/2023/6), the 15-nation organ expressed concern over the serious, growing threats posed by transnational organized crime and acknowledged that — in specific contexts and regions — terrorists may benefit from organized crime, whether domestic or transnational. Noting that transnational crimes may threaten the security of countries on its agenda, the Council expressed its intention to consider such threats, as appropriate.
