Ian takes a look back at the first major UN Conference on organized crime to have taken place this year – the Conference of Parties to the UN Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime – the UNTOC.
He will consider what implications this Conference had for the upcoming Crime Congress, the broader international response to organized crime, and the place of civil society within those discussions.

The Global Initiative has always championed the community leaders and civil society groups and activists who face the damage caused by organized crime at the local level. In this episode, we will hear some of those voices.
All of the people you will hear from are beneficiaries of the Global Initiative’s Resilience Fund, which supports exactly these kind of groups and individuals as they seek to build their community’s resilience against criminal governance.
