Role of the United Nations in combating transnational organized crime

Organized crime is one of the biggest contemporary challenges facing the international community as a whole, given the seriousness posed by the various spheres of political, security, economic, social and cultural rights ... etc.. And organized crime is not a crime to date, but they are known since ancient history. Among the most prominent images provided by us to date for this crime, the crime of piracy, which was still being committed on the high seas, and the crime of the slave trade and other other crimes. Technological advances that occurred in the world played a major role to make way for organized criminal groups to create the manifestations and new types of these crimes, which can be difficult to face .. The effects of transnational organized crime is not confined to the territory of one country, but extend to affect more regions of the state, which gives it an international character. So we must move the international community (through the United Nations) in order to reduce the risk of this crime. Where the United Nations made unremitting efforts in this area, and has established several committees relevant to combating crime in general and organized crime in particular, as well as the conclusion of the organization of many international conventions. Also held several conferences in this field. .
