To support Member States and the international community in efforts to prevent violence and strengthen responses, the fourth edition of the Global Homicide Study offers a comprehensive examination of intentional homicide trends and patterns around the world, and analysis of the complex dynamics behind the numbers. The study delves into different aspects of homicide, including the extent of intentional homicide in absolute numbers and rates. It highlights regional and subregional trends, demographics, age, and gender profiles of victims. It also explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on homicide trends. The analysis of homicide typologies is one of the main aspects of the Global Homicide Study, covering three categories: homicides related to criminal activities, interpersonal homicides, and socio-politically motivated homicides. A special section under chapter 4 examines how organized crime is driving homicide trends in Latin America and the Caribbean. In addition, the study considers the impacts of megatrends such as climate change, ageing populations, inequality, urbanization and technological shifts, with the aim of providing insights into how these larger global developments may intersect with and influence homicide rates. The Global Homicide Study also examines the criminal justice system's response to intentional homicide, seeking to identify areas for improvement and intervention.

Turning the Tide: A Look Into the European Union to Southeast Asia Waste Trafficking Wave is the cornerstone publication in a series produced through the Unwaste project to take an in-depth look at the many facets of waste trafficking. This first report examines the movement of waste – both legal and illegal – between the European Union and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) region from a global perspective, uncovering emerging patterns and their characteristics while highlighting the considerable progress made by countries in Southeast Asia to tackle waste trafficking and facilitate legal trade.

This report features the findings of a review of the legal frameworks that target waste trafficking in Member States of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). The assessment was undertaken as a contribution of the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) to the work of the Unwaste project on tackling waste trafficking to support a circular economy, which is being implemented by United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in cooperation with UNEP. The Unwaste project focuses on combating trafficking in waste between Europe and Southeast Asia by promoting enhanced partnerships between the European Union and ASEAN Member States, in support of ongoing efforts towards a circular economy transition.

Worldwide, waste trafficking is increasingly recognized as a serious crime, with close links to corruption, organized crime and money laundering. This report will illustrate how corruption at various levels enables waste trafficking. It will also shed light on another key feature of criminal waste activity, financial crime, which can involve tax evasion or the laundering of illicit profits. The crimes – often large-scale, complex schemes – are in many instances carried out by organized criminal groups (OCGs) and networks and frequently include transnational elements.

Knowledge and evidence of the illegal online trade in waste are still scarce in the ASEAN region and globally. A rapid assessment by GRID-Arendal has highlighted the challenges of identifying the practice, which can occur over social media or via various e-commerce platforms, but there is little other information available. To gain a deeper insight into the issue, the UNODC Unwaste team organized a virtual consultation in February 2023 with experts on the topics of crimes that affect the environment and cybercrime. This report is based on the outcomes of the expert consultation and, where specifically noted, on the GRID-Arendal rapid assessment. It also takes into account the results of the first joint UNODC-UNEP Unwaste regional meeting, held in Bangkok in June 2023.

A global reference on drug markets, trends and policy developments, the World Drug Report offers a wealth of data and analysis. The Key findings and conclusions booklet provides an overview of selected findings, while the Special points of interest offers a framework for the main takeaways and policy implications that can be drawn from those findings. As well as providing an in-depth analysis of key developments and emerging trends in selected drug markets, the Contemporary issues on drugs booklet looks at several other developments of policy relevance. The World Drug Report 2024 is aimed not only at fostering greater international cooperation to counter the impact of the world drug problem on health, governance and security, but also at assisting Member States in anticipating and addressing threats posed by drug markets and mitigating their consequences.
