Summary/Abstract: In the last several decades, the world has experienced an escalation of organized crime, such as frearms and drug trafcking. Terrorism and migrant trafcking in particular have reached alarming levels in recent years. United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (Palermo, 2000) is a main international instrument in the fght against transnational organized crime. By ratifying the Convention, States parties have a legal basis to adopt a series of crime-control measures and implement special investigation procedures in their domestic legal order, in order to successfully combat organized crime. While fghting the ever more complex forms of organized crime, the international community and individual countries fnd that the implementation of special investigation techniques (or special evidence-gathering procedures, as they are called in Serbia) is ofen the only efective solution. Tis paper will discuss the most important aspects of their implementation in the fght against organized crime.
