Organized crime is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon that poses a grave threat to global peace and security, generating an estimated $870 billion (about $2,700 per person in the US). The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of the UNTOC in preventing and combating transnational organized crime, highlight the complexities in the UNTOC employment process, and explore the UNTOC's role in national and international efforts to combat organized crime. To assess and investigate the impact of the challenge posed by the UNTOC on new forms of transnational organized crime. The research questions are designed to examine UNTOC's specifications, its impact on national and international efforts to combat organized crime, implementation challenges, and the types of organized crime it looks to deter and combat. The significance of this study is that it may provide legislators, law enforcement, and other stakeholders with insights into combating organized crime and recommend ways to improve the effectiveness of the UNTOC. Literature review highlights UNTOC's critical role in fostering international cooperation to combat transnational organized crime, finding implementation challenges and the need to adapt to evolving threats.
