Original (Global)

The United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime^① (UNTOC, the "Palermo^② Convention") was adopted by GA Resolution 55/25 on 15 November 2000, opened for signature in Palermo^② on 12-15 December 2000, and entered into force on 29 September 2003. It is supplemented by three protocols, including the Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking^③ in Persons, Especially Women and Children, whose Article 3 sets the internationally agreed definition of trafficking^③ (recruitment/transport by coercion or deception for exploitation, including sexual exploitation, forced labour, and removal of organs). UNTOC also requires States Parties to criminalize money laundering (Art. 6), adopt anti-money-laundering measures (Art. 7), and enable confiscation of criminal proceeds (Art. 12). UNODC is the guardian/secretariat of the Convention.
