The Smuggling of Migrants Knowledge Portal is an initiative to facilitate the dissemination of information regarding the implementation of the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and specifically the Protocol against the Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Sea and Air. This portal aims to promote the uniform interpretation and application of the international instruments designed to tackle transnational crimes, and to broaden the knowledge of migrant smuggling crimes, especially the realities faced by ordinary people victimized by those who put their life at risk and the tools available to contrast the criminals while protecting the migrants.
