Economic crime, including money laundering, is a serious social problem to societies around the world and these crimes continue to take on an increasingly transnational nature. To ensure the curtailing of economic crime, many international initiatives have been undertaken, such as the U.N. Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, which was adopted in 1988. The United Nations Asia and Far East Institute for the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders (UNAFEI) has made a commitment to play a role in eradicating illicit drug trafficking and money laundering; the International Training Course represents one effort toward this goal. The newsletter explains the rationale for the course, which is to allow participants to comprehensively examine measures to combat economic crime, mainly accomplished through an analysis of the current situation and challenges encountered while combating these crimes. A summary of the course is provided, which includes brief descriptions of lectures, individual presentations, group workshop sessions, observation visits, group study tours, and special events. A listing is provided of all participants and experts in attendance, as well as those who participated in the first training course for the support of anti-corruption management in Thailand. Finally, information about forthcoming programs and administration news from UNAFEI is presented. Faculty and staff of UNAFI are listed.
