INTERNATIONAL JUDICIAL COOPERATION IN COMBATING ORGANIZED CRIME
Main Article Content
Abstract
Organized crime represents a pervasive global challenge, capturing the focus of both international and national spheres. As a persistent and evolving issue, nations engage in extensive collaboration to counteract and mitigate its proliferation through a myriad of strategies, tools, and mechanisms. Judicial cooperation, involving the concerted efforts of judicial authorities from various nations, is pivotal in addressing organized crime.
This collaboration seeks to harmonize criminal procedures ranging from the investigation phase to the final sentencing, thereby ensuring that perpetrators are brought to justice. Such cooperation necessitates the synchronization of judicial authorities to establish consistent standards, encompassing the extradition of suspects, and providing judicial assistance in evidence collection and crime attribution.
