UNODC Report: Global Human Trafficking and Financial Crime
multiple sources detail the escalating global problem of organised crime, highlighting its links to human trafficking and sophisticated financial fraud. A UNODC report reveals the surge in forced labour and child trafficking, often obscured by money laundering, while other reports emphasise the increasing use of AI-powered scams by transnational criminal groups, generating billions in illicit revenue. The sheer scale of the problem necessitates a more coordinated international response, including increased law enforcement resources and potential government-level initiatives like a dedicated Fraud Minister. These reports also stress the devastating human rights implications and the need for improved victim support.
