Summer Certificate Course on Combating Transnational Organized Crime and Illicit Trade: A Focus on the Americas
Registration is open for the third international edition of the online Summer Certificate Course on Combating Transnational Organized Crime and Illicit Trade: Networks, Dynamics, and Social Impact! It will be held from August 5–15, 2024, and co-convened by TraCCC and AITI (Anti-Illicit Trade Institute) at George Mason University and the University for Peace (UPEACE).
Geared to state and non-state professionals, civil society representatives, journalists, Post-Docs, and graduate students, a core objective of the course is to identify how different types of crimes impact the capacity of the state to manage and mitigate internal and external threats. It will also provide participants with an overview of transnational organized crime in terms of its characteristics and activities, as well as the international policies and frameworks developed in the face of these complex challenges. Summer Course participants will receive a certificate upon successful completion. The cost of the course is USD 500, to be submitted to UPEACE.
