UN REPORT: THE CONFLICT IN UKRAINE AND ITS IMPACT ON ORGANISED CRIME AND SECURITY – A SNAPSHOT OF RECENT TRENDS

This Report from the UN Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) says that analysis suggests that the conflict and Ukraine’s resultant destabilisation already have several significant implications for organised crime, illicit trafficking, and security challenges in multiple ways across its borders and globally.  Some changes related to the trafficking of people, arms, drugs, and illicit goods may be permanent, while others may be transitory as power dynamics and physical threats shift.  This constantly changing nature, and the fact that these crimes often cross borders thousands of miles away, can make confronting these challenges particularly difficult.  The situation requires continuous analysis of evolving threats and risks, training and capacity building of the region’s law enforcement, and updated public aware[1]ness campaigns.
