The article states that one of the main tasks of the international community in the field of law enforcement is to ensure the inevitability of punishment of a guilty person for all elements of criminal offenses, regardless of the place of their commission, every serious crime should be punished. Expanding the scope of transnational organized crime involved in trafficking in human beings, human organs, drugs, weapons is one of the most serious threats to national security, both as a single state and as a whole in the world. Opportunities that are used by transnational organized groups are striking in their scope, means of communication, transport connections, and global reach. Their activities can lead to destabilization or criminalization of economically weak states, creation of alternative centers of government, or corruption of public institutions such as local governments, the judiciary, police and others. It is stated that transnational organized crime is detrimental to the national interests of individual countries and affects international security and stability in general, and the development of effective measures to counter such crimes is a task of the international community. In order to combat transnational organized crime, United Nations States Parties develop co-operation strategies to combat such crimes, taking into account the specificities of: the legal system, national legislation and state bodies, operational procedures, human and technical resources, approaches available to interagency and regional cooperation as well as cultural and political aspects. It is emphasized that United Nations States Parties, with the participation of specially created bodies, develop recommendations for the practical assistance in combating transnational organized crime by issuing manuals, model laws, legal commentary and other material to eliminate legal loopholes which allow criminals to escape from justice.

Abstract:The international community is concerned about criminal activity involving cultural property and is promoting the use of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime to combat looting and trafficking of cultural property. This article discusses how the Convention may be applied, outlines some of the intentions of UN member states with regard to cultural property crime, and the role of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime. It is suggested that cultural property stakeholders should scrutinize this developing effort, particularly in the areas of UNTOC application to specific cultural property cases and the collection and analysis of data specifically to address the connections between cultural property and transnational organized crime.
