The Meetings of National Authorities on Transnational Organized Crime are held biennially and serve as the principal hemispheric forum for National Authorities from OAS Member States to discuss efforts aimed at implementing their commitments under the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and its supplementary Protocols. Professor Realuyo was part of a panel discussion titled “Emerging Modalities of Organized Crime and Effective Tools to Address Them” and highlighted how the cyber domain is empowering criminal networks involved in drug, human, arms and contraband trafficking and illicit financing.
