About this talk

This panel will discuss specific cases of criminal activities, emphasizing dynamics of territorial occupation, deforestation, human trafficking for labor purposes; and their impacts in rural regions of Mexico.

Four papers will be presented alternating with spaces for questions from the audience. Dialogue will be promoted seeking to enrich and provide feedback on the approach of 24h Conference on Global Organized Crime. A closing session will take place.
