Abstract: Transnational Organized Crimes, otherwise referred to as cross-border crimes, have become a phenomenon transmuting from one form to another as a result the zealous efforts of perpetrators at escaping justice, despite plethora of domestic, bilateral and multilateral treaties, conventions and protocols entered by cooperative nations to ward-off cross-border crimes. This study comprehensively evaluates the efficacy of various specialized international organizations, established laws and agencies set up to combat incidence of transnational organized crimes. The impacts of the United Nation and its International Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, African Union, Interpol, US Federal Bureau of Investigation, International Criminal Tribunal and other regional bodies form the subject of this work with reference to their successes, failures and attendant challenges. The various types and dangers of Transnational Organized Crimes and groups are considered hereunder in line with their prevalence in certain regions or their common route – citing relevant cases and instances across Africa, Asia, America, Europe and the Middle-East – the UK’s neo-slavery case of Senator Ike Ekwerermadu of Nigeria comes in handy. The question on disparity in jurisdiction, legal systems and the pivotal need for uniformity and transnational collaboration in the process of enforcement is hereby analysed with a view exposing the causes and dangers of increasing rates of border crimes. The extent to which the existing legal frameworks have impacted to curb perpetration of transnational crime forms the basis of conclusion and recommendations towards achieving a water-tight border security against transnational crimes.
