Are we doing enough to combat the growing ties between crime and terror? Transnational organized crime and terrorist groups are not only interconnected, but their collaboration also fosters global instability, impacting development and security across national borders.
Why should you care? Criminal and terrorist groups are increasingly working together, engaging in activities like drug trafficking, migrant smuggling, and money laundering to fund their operations. They employ brutal tactics ranging from kidnappings and murders to extensive cyber-attacks, expanding their reach far beyond traditional battlegrounds.
What's at stake? These alliances shift terrorists' motivations from purely ideological to financial, making them even harder to combat. With both types of organizations developing sophisticated strategies and forming powerful alliances, the challenges for national and international efforts to curb their influence are monumental.
In Latin America, this worrying trend is evident and demands immediate action.
The United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) has released a report report analyzing these dynamics in Latin America. This report not only deepens our understanding but also guides governments on how to disrupt these dangerous networks effectively.
