THE ROLE OF INTERNATIONAL PROTECTIVE MECHANISMS INCURBING TRANSNATIONAL CRIMES

Abstract

As criminalities span the globe, there is no doubt that the activities of transnational crime actors often generate a clash of civilizations, unsettling controlling values between states, necessitating international law interventions in balancing conflicting interests emanating from transnational crimes cases. Global interdependence of nations guarantees concerted legal, economic and social policies as well as safety nets that largely eliminate the incentives for transnational crimes. The international community have been actively engaged in combating transnational crimes. This activeness is evidenced by the evolution of various protective mechanisms against transnational crimes. To guarantee the effectiveness of these protective mechanisms, there is a need for the standardization of information and definitions relating to transnational crimes, addressing of deep criminalization of states, organizing of peace operations with adequately trained personnel amongst other recommendations as given in the work.
