Organized Crime: A Compilation of U.N. Documents, 1975-1998

The most sustained and penetrating study of the phenomenon of transnational organized crime has been done by various UN agencies in an ongoing project whose principal milestone is the 1997 Convention on Organized Crime. This book presents all relevant texts in chronological order from 1975 to 1998, with additional material explaining the background of the project. Its wealth of detail as it addresses this formidable global challenge at the technical and political levels should be of great assistance to officials and law enforcement experts in relevant national, regional and international agencies.
