*This page is being updated.

As guardian of the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (Palermo Convention/UNTOC), ratified by Brazil, UNODC supports the country in responding to crimes such as: 

  • Drug trafficking and other illicit activities;
  • Trafficking in persons;
  • Money laundering and illicit financial flows.

Through actions in this area, UNODC seeks to improve the criminal justice response to trafficking in persons in migratory flows, in addition to improving statistical data in the area of trafficking in persons.
