That is the area where the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe, the world's largest regional security organization, has a specific role.

Why is it important?
Organized crime hinders sustainable economic and social development, safety and stability, as well as opportunities of some 1,2 billion people, living in the region, to enjoy their human rights, including the right to life, liberty and security of person. Strengthening and joining efforts of the OSCE 57 participating States may considerably improve safety environment and significantly prevent possible future crimes.
Perspectives
I do sincerely hope that this article will provide a high-quality food-for-thought to practitioners, experts, diplomats and researchers on the way forward in addressing organized crime and in their efforts to protect safety of citizens, including children, women, elderly persons.
