This issue of Transnational Crime focuses on the implementation of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and its Supplementing Protocols. It is part of a broader project, marking the UNTOC’s 20th anniversary, which started with The Palermo Convention at Twenty: Institutional and Substantive Challenges (Brill, 2021) and aims at appraising the Convention’s legal framework and its suitability as a tool for effectively combating present-day transnational organized crime.

Serena Forlati, LL.M. (Bruges), Ph.D. (Rome, La Sapienza), is Professor of International Law at the University of Ferrara. Among her publications are S. Carnevale, S. Forlati, O. Giolo (eds), Redefining Organized Crime – A Challenge for the European Union? (Hart, 2017) and S. Forlati, P. Franzina (eds), Universal Civil Jurisdiction – Which Way Forward? (Brill/Nijhoff, 2020).
