Secretariat - Strategic Police Matters Unit

This is the third annual report that the Strategic Police Matters Unit within the OSCE Transnational Threats Department (TNTD/SPMU) has prepared on OSCE Activities in the Fight against Organized Crime. The report provides an overview of the Organization’s anti-organized-crime efforts during 2011. The information contained herein is a compilation of submissions provided by the thematic units within the Secretariat, the OSCE field operations, and ODIHR, also demonstrating the cross-dimensional approach in addressing organized crime.

The report includes information about the OSCE’s assistance in addressing forms of organized crime, such as cybercrime, trafficking in human beings, migrant smuggling, drug trafficking, financial crimes and corruption, identity-document fraud, as well as terrorism. While these areas may not be viewed by the general public as traditional organized-crime activities, they actually reflect new developments in the “threatscape” posed by 21st-century transnational organized crime.
