Summary of The GI-TOC at the 12th Session of the UNTOC CoP

The video discusses the upcoming 12th Session of the Conference of the Parties (CoP) to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC), highlighting the challenges and effectiveness of the convention after nearly 25 years since its adoption.

The conference aims to address these issues by including voices from Civil Society, recognizing their critical role in the success of the convention. The Global Initiative against Transnational Organized Crime will host various events during the conference, presenting a flagship report that evaluates the effectiveness of the UNTOC. Key topics of discussion will include:

• Organized crime assessments in the Pacific and Undan regions
• The threats of fraud and human trafficking in Southeast Asia
• The operations of criminal groups between Europe and Africa

The initiative emphasizes the importance of Civil Society's involvement in the implementation of the convention and encourages participation in their events during the conference.
