The 2025 International Day commemoration marks the 25th anniversary of the adoption of the UNTOC and its Protocols against Trafficking in Persons and the Smuggling of Migrants, as well as the 20th anniversary of the entry into force of its third Protocol on Firearms.
This milestone commemoration offers a unique opportunity to take stock of progress achieved, honour those who have dedicated their lives to advancing the anti-crime agenda, and renew efforts to ensure that the Convention is fully implemented in order to uphold the vision of global justice, cooperation and security enshrined in it. The commemoration will convene high-level representatives, diplomats, youth leaders, civil society actors and experts in a ceremony designed to showcase political will, joint commitment and shared vision in the fight against organized crime.
