Organized crime-human trafficking as a form of threats to security with reference to Bosnia and Herzegovina

Summary/Abstract: In addition to local ethno-religious conflicts, the first two decades of the 21st century were marked by the emergence of some new forms of security threats, at the global, regional as well as local levels of the country. Numerous security risks, challenges and threats have been defined in the modern theory of both international relations and the theory of security in science. It is these risks, challenges and threats that are defined as state and non-state factors. Among non-state factors, one of the most important according to modern theorists of international relations and security is certainly organized crime. Today, organized crime has become so sofisticated the fight against it greatly exceeds the ability and capacity of the state to fight against this pestulence of modern society on its own. Hunan trafficing is one of the largest and most profitable global criminal activities, along with trafficking in narcotics, weapons and money laundering. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to point out the importance of the fight against organized crime, especially the importance of the fight against human trafficking as one of the most important and most profitable activities of organized crime. We can, almost certainly, say that organized crime has its activities in all countries around the “world”, and it is especially evident in countries in transition. Therefore, in this paper, we will give an overview of the state of human trafficking in BiH, as a country that has been in transition for almost three decades.
