Question

Which of the following is NOT related to transnational crime management and prevention:
1. The UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (2003)
2. European and South Asian Drug Prevention Commission (2007-2016)
3. Anti-Drug Strategy of the European Union (2005-2012)
4. Global Regime for Transnational Crime (2013)
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Hint:

In international law questions, look for formal names like Conventions, Strategies, or Commissions. Terms like "Regime" are usually descriptive rather than the name of a functional legal organization.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Concept:

• Transnational crime involves criminal activities that cross national borders and violate the laws of more than one state.
• Management involves international treaties, regional commissions, and strategic policy frameworks.

Step 1: Analyze formal treaties
The UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC), often called the Palermo Convention, is the main international instrument to fight organized crime.
Thus, A is related.

Step 2: Analyze regional strategies
The EU Anti-Drug Strategy (C) and specific regional drug commissions (B) are formal mechanisms set up by states to coordinate law enforcement and prevention efforts.
Thus, B and C are related.

Step 3: Identify the non-existent entity
"Global Regime for Transnational Crime (2013)" is not the name of a formal international law, organization, or treaty. While "regime" is a scholarly term to describe international cooperation, there is no such official body or enacted instrument by that name from 2013.

Step 4: Conclusion
Option (D) is the outlier as it is not a recognized management or prevention instrument.
