Policy brief

Summary of Policy Recommendations. 

  • Reconceptualize peace operation tools in ways that would better respond to transnational organized crime, including elevating it as a priority task or considering transnationally operational missions.
  •  Position UN entities and missions for more informed political economy-focused responses, including through cultivating staff expertise related to anticorruption and financial crime, and improving wholeof-mission intelligence capacity. 
  • Protect and reinforce transnational monitoring and enforcement tools, including revamping sanctions regimes, protecting and buttressing panels of experts and supporting civil society or private sector information flows and watchdog activities.
  •  Consider issues related to organized crime and trafficking in prevention and peacebuilding, including in national prevention strategies, in mediation and good offices, and in peacebuilding forums and programming.
