The Institute for Public Diplomacy Joins UNODC Campaign Against Transnational Organized Crime
The Institute for Public Diplomacy joins the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) campaign marking the International Day against Transnational Organized Crime, 15 November, through its commitment to advancing anti-corruption diplomacy and international cooperation.
This year's campaign, under the theme “Follow the Money. Stop Organized Fraud,” draws attention to the growing threat posed by organized fraud and the criminal networks that profit from online scams, fraudulent investments and other illicit schemes.
Organized fraud is not merely a criminal justice issue. It undermines public trust, economic security, institutional integrity and the foundations of sustainable development. Addressing it requires more than law enforcement: it demands transparency, accountability, effective international cooperation and meaningful engagement across sectors.
Through anti-corruption diplomacy, the Institute emphasizes the importance of strengthening cooperation between international organizations, civil society, academia and the private sector to prevent corruption, expose illicit financial flows and disrupt the networks behind organized crime.
We encourage our members, partners and the wider public diplomacy community to support the UNODC campaign, raise awareness and help spread its message:
Follow the Money. Stop Organized Fraud.
