The impact of transnational organized crime on human rights

Abstract

Contemporary social relations evolve at an unprecedented pace, the content and the form of their realization changing qualitatively, and sometimes radically, compared to the realities of the immediate post-war world. A phenomenon essentially arising from geopolitical realities (integrationist movements, regional instability, etc.), environmental factors, technological progress, etc. is the phenomenon of transnational organized crime. In turn, transnational organized crime is the most frequent cause of social problems: poverty, inequity, social exclusion. The objective of this study is to link 2 areas of contemporary international regulations: international cooperation in combating transnational organized crime and the requirements for the protection of fundamental human rights and freedoms. However, numerous resolutions adopted by international bodies demonstrate that one of their central concerns is to reduce the impact of the scourge of transnational organized crime on human rights.
