Approaches to transnational organized crime. Prevention and combat by international organizations

Abstract

A feature of the contemporary erass, determined by technical and scientific progress, by the intense exchange of material and spiritual values, is the tendency to intensify cooperation between States on various levels of political, social, cultural and legal activity. International crime is not a figment of people with a rich imagination, it is a reality that threatens to turn our lives into a nightmare with bad consequences. At the moment, all countries of the world, regardless of their level of development, are facing a real explosion of international crime. Recognizing the extent and special danger of international crime, the problem of preventing and countering it began to concern the suprastatal forums, which, in stilling its expansion and evolution, put emphasis on regulating some forms of its activity, through the conclusion of regional agreements and international conventions. Thus, the eradication of crime is a primary objective for both developing and developed countries. It should be noted that criminal organizations in Moldova have multiple links with similar structures in CIS countries, Romania, Poland, Germany, Italy, the USA, Canada, Israel. Despite the imperfection of legislative amendments and additions, we consider, however, that a legislative basis in countering international crime in Moldova exists.
