Definition
Transnational Crime refers to criminal activities that cross national borders or have an international impact, violating laws and undermining the security, stability, and economic systems of multiple states.

Under international law, serious transnational crimes also encompass offenses such as:

The Evolving Global Threat
In the current global environment, transnational crime has become increasingly sophisticated and interconnected, contributing to rising levels of violence, including robbery, extortion, targeted killings, organized gang activity, and illicit financial flows. Additionally, these networks often exploit social divisions, contributing to hate crimes and instability across regions.
The growing scale and complexity of transnational crime highlight the urgent need for coordinated international strategies, intelligence sharing, and integrated security frameworks to effectively counter these evolving threats.
