Today, this darker side of globalization is thriving at an estimated $2.2 trillion in illicit commerce that includes trafficking in narcotics, persons, counterfeits, and endangered wildlife, among other illicit goods and contraband.
It is so lucrative that kleptocrats, transnational criminal organizations, and terrorists are financing their illicit operations and fuelling corruption, violence, and terrorist attacks that imperil the rule of law and democracy.
Illicit trade is also siphoning capital and human resources away from legitimate economic activity, especially in times of pandemic recovery, climate change, and the implementation of national sustainable development goals.
The best way to combat illicit trade and the global shadowy illegal economy is through collective action.
