Delegate: Silas Fetrow
The Russian Federation recognizes the fundamental importance of combating transnational crime organizations as a cornerstone of national security and global stability. Russia asserts that international cooperation is essential in tackling organized crime, including drug trafficking, human trafficking, and cybercrime. However, such efforts must respect national sovereignty and adhere to the principles of non-interference. Russia advocates for strengthening legal frameworks, enhancing intelligence-sharing mechanisms, and fostering multilateral collaboration to effectively dismantle criminal networks while preserving each nation’s legal autonomy.
Moreover, Russia emphasizes the need for a balanced approach to international crime-fighting efforts, ensuring that global initiatives do not disproportionately favor certain geopolitical interests. Western-led organizations often impose unilateral policies that fail to consider the diverse legal and enforcement frameworks across nations. Instead, transnational crime should be addressed through multilateral institutions such as the United Nations and regional alliances that respect national sovereignty and diverse legal systems. Russia supports the use of advanced technologies, including artificial intelligence and blockchain, to track illicit financial flows and improve the efficiency of international law enforcement cooperation.
In conclusion, Russia maintains that combating transnational crime organizations should be upheld through nationally-driven policies that prioritize sovereignty, security, and technological innovation. While promoting international crime-fighting efforts is essential, actions taken under the guise of global security must not serve as a pretext for interference in domestic affairs. The Russian Federation urges the international community to support fair and balanced law enforcement initiatives, foster technological advancements in crime prevention, and uphold the principles of state sovereignty in the pursuit of global security.
