Being tough is not enough: Curbing transnational organised crime

26 June 2013

On February 28 and March 1, 2013, an international conference organized by the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung on transnational organized crime gathered experts from Latin America, Africa, Asia and Europe. The title of the conference, »Being Tough Is Not Enough – Curbing transnational Organized Crime« was inspired by the realization that, so far, the narrow focus on law enforcement in addressing transnational organized crime has had significant shortcomings. Other areas, such as development and health policy, institution building and capacity development, could contribute to a more balanced response. The conference discussed possible avenues for addressing issues of organized crime more effectively.
