  1. “The Organization’s efforts are focused on addressing those problems, but climate-induced disasters and the coronavirus disease pandemic have reversed the progress already achieved towards the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals. Our bilateral and multilateral cooperation efforts are being expanded through the signing of a renewal of memorandums of understanding with countries and agencies. Such agreements seek to deepen intelligence-sharing, exchange programmes, joint operations and capacity- building, among others. In conclusion, we call on Member States to consider innovative ways to collaborate, foster regional and international cooperation, as well as commit to addressing transnational crime, which is a threat to global peace and security.”

  2. “We are convinced that the United Nations remains the central platform for raising awareness for the plight of victims of organized crime, through the peace and security agenda of the United Nations. It is important to raise awareness of the dangers associated with organized crime by educating the community, sharing experiences and information between States, as well as leveraging technology to disrupt criminal activities. By fostering international collaboration, we can make significant strides in combating transnational crime. It is equally important to address the root causes of organized crime including poverty, conflict and illicit drugs.”

  3. “Beyond the law enforcement approach, however, dealing with the sociopolitical economy of organized crime in a more holistic manner is crucial to achieving world peace and security. In that regard, multilateral cooperation should be enhanced to strengthen States’ capabilities to deal with the threat posed by organized crime involving criminality and terrorism. Governments must fight corruption within their institutions by implementing measures to combat corruption, which often facilitates crime. The tenth session of the Conference of the States Parties to the United Nations Convention against Corruption, to be held from 11 to 15 December in Atlanta, Georgia, will provide a veritable platform to discuss anti-corruption measures to curb crime and to promote peace and security globally.”

  4. “Today’s open debate bears great relevance to the awful experience Nigeria had with respect to the terrorist activities of Boko Haram in north-eastern Nigeria and the related crime of banditry in north- western and central Nigeria, which are leading to the large displacement of people. It is imperative to state that perpetrators of organized crime should be held accountable; yet the capacity of States to do so needs to be strengthened for a better assurance of success. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime is making efforts in that regard, but more needs to be done to address emerging crimes, such as the creation of synthetic drugs and the involvement of youth in all nefarious activities.”

  5. “Furthermore, the interconnected nature of those criminal activities demands innovative strategies and international cooperation to counteract their impact on stability and security worldwide. Transnational organized crime continues to inflict pain and trauma on its victims around the world. Through its ever-evolving dynamics, it is adapting to political, economic and social conditions, thereby creating new forms of crime, as well as providing funding for criminal activities, including terrorism, armed conflict and trafficking in drugs and persons. Those have devastating impacts on individuals, families and communities, especially women and girls. We must therefore collectively do more to prevent transnational organized crime by bringing perpetrators to justice.”

  6. “Nigeria congratulates Ecuador on assuming the presidency of the Security Council for the month of December. At the outset, I would like to thank the Secretary-General for his statement and the Permanent Mission of the Republic of Ecuador to the United Nations for organizing today’s important open debate. I would also like to extend our gratitude to our briefers for their informative briefings. Transnational organized crime poses a significant threat to an international peace and security evolving with globalization. Issues like cybercrime, human and drug trafficking transcend borders. As such, effectively addressing them requires collaborative efforts among nations.”
