The Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime, sometimes shortened as Global Initiative, is an international non-governmental organization headquartered in Geneva. [1] The organisation is composed of a network of law enforcement, governance and development practitioners, who share the objective of developing innovative strategies and responses to organized crime. [2] In July 2020, the network counted 500 experts. [3]
The organisation was launched formally at the United Nations headquarters, in New York in September 2013. [4] It was initially established with funding and operational support from both the Governments of Norway and of Switzerland. [5] The Global Initiative has offices in Geneva, Vienna, Cape Town, and Malta.
The Global Initiative and its reports are regularly cited in publications such as the New York Times, [6] Reuters, [7] Time magazine, [8] Forbes, [9] the BBC, [10] Der Spiegel, [11] World Politic Review, [12] and The Telegraph. [13]
The Global Initiative Board for 2017-2020 is composed of Sarah F. Cliffe (Chair), and board members Rodrigo Avila, Gwen Boniface, Solange Ghernaouti, Misha Glenny, Marc Hofstetter, Kristin Kvigne, Nick Lewis, Moises Naim, Mary Jane C. Ortega and Gladwell Otieno. [14] The leadership team is composed of Mark Shaw (Director) and Tuesday Reitano (Deputy Director). [15]
The Global Initiative has published numerous publications, reports and policy briefs on organised crime. [16] [17] It has published a report together with the World Wide Fund for Nature on combatting environmental crime. [18]
According to, [2] the Global Initiative is the first organisation which analysed the risks and dangers associated with the infiltration of criminal organisations into the management of the COVID-19 pandemic, including a focus on the social and economic results. In March 2020, the organisation published a report of which summarized the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on crime. [19]
The Global Initiative provides briefings to the United Nation Security Council, highlighting that the United Nations System needs a coherent, streamlined and strategic approach to combat organized crime and to reduce its negative impacts on peace and prosperity. [20]
Together with Poseidon Aquatic Resource Management Ltd., the Global Initiative developed an illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing index for coastal states, which measures the degree to which states are exposed to and effectively combat IUU fishing. [21]
The Global Initiative co-organizes workshops with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime focusing on non-governmental alliances and developing multi-stakeholder engagement, in the context of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC). [22]
Together with Babson College and the International Organization for Migration, the Global Initiative is a founder of the Responsible and Ethical Private Sector Coalition against Trafficking (RESPECT) initiative, which aims to find solutions to modern slavery in the public and private sectors. [23]
The Global Initiative has partnerships with Interpol, [24] and Wilton Park. [25] It is a member of the Geneva Center for Security Sector Governance, [26] and of the Global Risk Governance programme. [27]
Fondata nel 2013 e con sede a Ginevra, la Global Initiative against Transnational Organized Crime (Gi-TOC) comprende una rete di oltre 500 esperti su diritti umani, democrazia, governance e questioni di sviluppo in cui il tema della criminalità organizzata è diventato sempre più pertinente. La GI-TOC offre una piattaforma per promuovere dibattito e approcci innovativi a una strategia globale e inclusiva contro la criminalità organizzata, tramite l'elaborazione di politiche sociali, la facilitazione del dialogo multisettoriale, e lo sviluppo di strumenti e programmi necessari per dare risposte veloci e efficaci a problematiche emergenti. Primo centro studi internazionale che ha promosso a livello mondiale il Covid Crime Watch per analizzare i rischi e i pericoli legati all'infiltrazione di organizzazioni criminali nella gestione della pandemia da Covid-19, per studiarne le dinamiche, ma anche le risultanze a livello sociale e a livello economico.
