Briefing by Ghada Waly, Executive Director of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), on Transnational organized crime, growing challenges and new threats.

Ghada Fathi Waly, Executive Director of United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), said, “Around the world illicit markets are expanding and diversifying. All threats persist from booming cocaine markets to illicit firearms flowing into volatile areas. And emerging challenges proliferate with synthetic drugs and cybercrime evolving faster than the world can keep up.”

She added, “I would strongly encourage this esteemed Council to continue devoting its attention to the critical threat of transnational organized crime, which underpins many of the peace and security challenges you address.”

Waly concluded, “UNODC is committed to providing reliable data and analysis and supporting operational capacities on the ground to enable an informed and effective response.”
