Both the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) are global leaders in the area of irregular migration, the trafficking of human beings and migrant smuggling. As the only United Nations entity focusing on the criminal justice element of these crimes, the UNODC’s work is underpinned by the United Nations Convention on Transnational Ogranized Crime and its protocols on trafficking in persons and migrant smuggling.
