FIGHT AGAINST ORGANIZED CRIME IN THE STATES OF THE REGION AND EU MEMBER STATES

In addition to terrorism, organized crime today is a first-rate global problem that equally endangers the security of developed and underdeveloped countries of the world. In response to all the challenges, risks and threats arising from the perpetration of organized crime, strong anticriminal solidarity of states has been established in the international community. The absence of a single definition of the concept of organized crime and its elements was not an obstacle for states to initiate the adoption of the International Convention against Transnational Organized Crime. On this basis, the states have harmonized their national legislations, formed special bodies to combat organized crime, and started to apply special investigative techniques and methods. At the multilateral, regional and bilateral level, states and international organizations have realized criminal-law cooperation in combating organized crime and its most severe forms. Cooperation between the EU and the countries of the Region is of particular importance given that Europe is a crossroads of trafficking routes for drugs, weapons, narcotics and human beings. The problem is gaining importance with the escalation of the migrant crisis that threatens to collapse the legal system and the achievements of human civilization. In the final part of the paper, proposals are made de legeferenda for the improvement of the legal framework and the forms of cooperation in suppressing the manifest forms of organized crime.

UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (CATOC), special bodies and techniques, suppression of criminal offences, cooperation between the EU and the Region.
