Transnational Organized Crime Monitoring Project (TOCMP)

1. Introduction

Transnational Organized Crime (TOC) is one of the fastest-growing threats to global peace and security. It thrives on human trafficking, drug smuggling, arms trade, money laundering, cybercrime, and wildlife trafficking. These activities cross borders, exploit weak governance, fuel corruption, and finance terrorism.

The TOCMP seeks to monitor, document, and counter organized crime networks by empowering civil society, strengthening cooperation between countries, and advocating for stronger laws and global accountability.
