Transnational Organized Crime
Monitoring Initiative
Monitoring, documenting, and countering the networks of human trafficking, drug smuggling, arms trade, money laundering, and wildlife crime through civil society cooperation and global accountability.
Countering a Fast-Growing Global Threat
Why Organized Crime Monitoring Matters
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 Transnational Organized Crime Monitoring Project (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.
