Civil Society in Preventing and Eradicating Organized Crimes

In the era of globalization and post-Pandemic COVID-19, currently States are increasingly faced crimes which more crossed national borders. Then, more and extra international collaboration and cooperation is an urgent elements of criminal investigation or prosecutions. Hence, the real task in prevention and eradicating crime is the duty and legal responsibility of the government and law enforcement officials in each States. However civil society plays a very important role in preventing crimes including in that cross border crimes and transnational organized crimes. 

So that in fulfilling legal responsibility and duties, especially eradicating these crimes, the government and law enforcers should partner with civil society organisations (CSOs) at national, regional and international level. Because CSOs have been well-experienced and well -placed to advocate and galvanize support for the implementation of responsibility to prevent the crimes as well as to protect the community. Moreover , the CSOs have a range of advocacy tools to prevent or respond to crimes and violations as well to protect those in needs and those who are marginalized and vulnerable. Thus, the CSOs can work and collaborate with governments to deepen the awareness of the responsibility to protect the community and also to to build capacity at local, regional and international in order to apply existing legal mechanism and to protect the community from the crime.  

This session will emphasize the individual experiences of four (4) Resilience Fund- Fellows 2021 in advocating crime between the State and organized crime and tell story of their challenges and success stories.
