A threat to public health, public security, and social stability

Illicit trade fuels ruthless criminal gangs, often impacting the most vulnerable communities and populations. It deprives governments of tax revenue needed to provide public services, including security.

The proceeds from illicit trade often help facilitate other serious crimes such as human trafficking, corruption, and money laundering.

We implement preventive and protective measures to fight illicit trade and work with public and private sectors to advance efforts against this global issue.
