The Regional Criminal Law Framework for the Combat of Organized Crime (Pashto)

Abstract

Today, powerful networks of criminal organizations with a range of coordinated activities in the form of organized crimes around the world with a great deal of impact in different fields are considered one of the most significant concerns in the national, regional and international societies in a way which not only poses a danger to the political, social and economic security, but is also known as the century-old threat, and as a result, our century is names the “century of organized crime”. The geographic region of the so-called ECO countries in Asia, considering its strategic nature, is one of the most vulnerable and the largest area in Asia prone to most organized crimes in Asia. Regarding the high volume, the variety and magnitude of organized crimes in the region, it can safely be called the Strategic Area of Organized Crimes in Asia. On the other hand, the response and policy adopted against these crimes by the countries in the region is not a response to these crimes due to the limitation to domestic or national criminal policy. Therefore, as the crimes are organized in this region, the adoption of a regional approach to these crimes is inevitable. This paper attempts to provide a framework for a regional criminal policy.
