SUMMARY:THE UNSEEN AND FAR-REACHING CONSEQUENCES OF ILLICIT TRADE IN TIMES OF WAR AND BEYOND
DESCRIPTION:The Second GLITSS Annual Conference\non May 16th\, Thursday\, 2024\n  \nBackground\nThe second annual GLITSS conference delves into the intricate repercussions of illicit trade on contemporary societies within the European and global context. Illicit trade\, encompassing activities such as counterfeiting\, smuggling\, and trafficking\, extends beyond mere economic and legal concerns to pose significant security\, safety\, and sustainability challenges. It enables security threats to materialize\, such as natural-resource-fueled conflicts and terrorism. It presents safety hazards\, such as those created by counterfeit medicines and drugs. TI threatens the sustainability of our societies by consuming excessive planetary resources and undermining the regulated functioning of international markets. Yet\, despite this obvious objective relevance\, the discussion on illicit trade remains compartmentalized within disciplinary boundaries. Bringing together experts\, policymakers\, academics\, and industry stakeholders\, the conference explores the complex interplay between illicit trade and its multifaceted threats to security\, safety\, and sustainability.  \n  \nRegister here \n \nAgenda\n  \nPART 1 – INTRODUCTION \n08:45 – 9:00  Registration \n09:00 – 9:30  Welcome Speeches \n09:30 – 10:00 Keynote Speech: Louise Shelley\, (George Mason University\, USA) \n10:00 – 10:30 Local Keynote Speech: TBA \n  \nPART 2 – PANEL SESSIONS \n10:30 – 11:30  Panel Session 1 – Economic Consequences of Illicit Trade: From Modern Slavery to Poverty \nPanel Description: Illicit trade often operates on a lower cost basis than legitimate businesses\, due to factors such as tax evasion\, lower labor costs\, and environmental disregard. Trafficking in human beings as the worst form of illicit trade generates millions of victims of modern slavery across the world. This unfair competition can drive legitimate businesses out of the market\, leading to job losses and economic decline. Furthermore\, the presence of illicit goods in markets can distort prices\, making it difficult for legitimate businesses to compete. This can lead to lower-quality goods being sold at higher prices\, or to genuine products being priced too low to remain profitable. Illicit trade generally undermines efforts to achieve sustainable development goals\, such as reducing poverty\, and it can also divert resources away from essential services\, such as education and healthcare. \nModerator: TBA \n11:30 – 12:00 Coffee break \n  \n12:00 – 13:00  Panel Session 2  – Illicit Trade Undermining Global Security: Financing Terrorism and Armed Conflicts \nPanel Description: Illicit trade undermines global security by contributing to instability and conflict in some regions\, as it is frequently used to fund armed groups and fuel violence. Illicit trade is a major source of funding for terrorist organizations\, guerilla groups\, and private military companies. The proceeds of illicit trade are used to purchase weapons\, explosives\, and other supplies\, as well as to pay for the recruitment and training of terrorists\, paramilitaries and mercenaries. \nModerator: TBA \n13:00 – 14:00  Lunch Break \n  \n14.00 – 15.00  Panel session 3 – Illicit Trade Fueling Corruption and Organized Crime \nPanel Description: Illicit trade is typically linked to organized crime and often relies on corrupt officials and businesses to operate\, which can erode public trust in institutions and the rule of law. Illicit trade is also a major source of funding for criminal organizations. The link between illicit trade and political corruption can lead to impunity for criminals\, enabling them to continue their illicit activities with little fear of punishment. \nModerator: TBA \n15:00 – 15:30 Coffee break \n  \n15.00 – 16.00  Panel session 4 – Other Consequences of Illicit Trade: From Environmental to Health Concerns \nPanel Description: The illegal exploitation of natural resources\, such as timber\, wildlife\, and minerals\, is a major driver of illicit trade. This exploitation leads to deforestation\, habitat loss\, and the extinction of endangered species. Furthermore\, illicit goods pose serious health and safety risks to consumers. Counterfeit pharmaceuticals\, for example\, may contain harmful ingredients or be ineffective\, while substandard medicine\, food\, and electronics can malfunction or cause injuries\, and even death. \nModerator: TBA \n16:00 – 16:30 Coffee break \n16:30 – 17:00  Closing remarks \nModerator: TBA \n17:00 – 17:30 COCKTAIL EVENT \n  \nSubmission and Deadlines\n  \nGLITSS members are invited to express their interest to attend the Conference by choosing one of the roles: \nSpeakers: Abstract up to 300 words (including disciplinary perspectives\, methods\, and preliminary results). \nThe Deadline for Submission is 16th March 2024. \nSelected participants will be informed about the outcome via email. \nPlease submit your proposals via the Registration form. \nBased on selected proposals\, conference organizers will determine the exact scope and might invite additional participants (stakeholders\, experts\, politicians\, etc.) to contribute to the event. \n  \nRegister here \n  \nLogistics & Participant Info\n  \nFor your stay at the 2nd Annual GLITSS Conference\, we suggest the following hotels: \nHotel Grand – 3 stars \nLocation: Approximately 6 minutes by car or 20 minutes on foot from the University of Sarajevo – Faculty of Criminal Justice and Security Studies. \nHotel Holiday – 4 stars \nLocation: Approximately 2 minutes by car or 7 minutes on foot from the University of Sarajevo – Faculty of Criminal Justice and Security Studies. \nHotel Novotel (Bristol) – 4 stars \nLocation: Approximately 4 minutes by car or 12 minutes on foot from the University of Sarajevo – Faculty of Criminal Justice and Security Studies. \nSwissotel Hotel – 5 stars \nLocation: Approximately 3 minutes by car or 10 minutes on foot from the University of Sarajevo – Faculty of Criminal Justice and Security Studies. \n

SUMMARY:Combating Illegal Trade by Promoting Critical Consumption
DESCRIPTION:📆 Save the Date: 12.04.2024\, 10:30 – 11.30 CEST\n🎟️ Register via: https://lnkd.in/e849z7V \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nFinally\, the webinar concludes by providing aims to empower consumers with the knowledge to make more ethical choices\, thus playing a crucial role in the fight against illegal trade. \nAbout the Webinar\nJoin our Webinar on: “Combating Illegal Trade by Promoting Critical Consumption. “Several critical consumption initiatives exist in Italy. One emblematic example concerns citizens’ initiatives supporting entrepreneurs who denounce mafia extortion attempts in the South and beyond. These consumers choose to buy ‘ethical’ products from these entrepreneurs who declare that they do not pay protection money or have denounced the mafiosi who asked them to do so. \nIn an era where consumer choices have never been more powerful\, the upcoming webinar\, “Combating Illegal Trade by Promoting Critical Consumption\,” promises to unveil the strategic role of consumers in making ethical decisions. This event will explore how our purchasing habits can either support or undermine illegal trade practices\, shining a light on the significant impact of critical consumption.

SUMMARY:Shall the EU follow the example of the US in wildlife trade?
DESCRIPTION:📆 Save the Date: Mar 20\, 2024 01:30 PM CET (12:30 GMT)\n🎟️ Register via: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJAlcO-gqD4sGd2jfhWyK3UsN2aBTrtVYim0#/registration \nAfter registering\, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.\nTake advantage of this opportunity to learn more about shall the EU follow the example of the US in wildlife trade. \nAbout the Webinar\nJoin our Webinar on “Shall the EU follow the example of the US in wildlife trade?” \nWildlife overexploitation remains one of the greatest threats to species survival. While illegal trade garners much attention\, the often underestimated threat of legal trade cannot be ignored. Join us as we dissect the complexities of this issue and explore how legal trade is often conflated with sustainability\, despite evidence suggesting otherwise. \nWe will analyze 22 years of data (2000-2022) from the Fish and Wildlife Service of the United States\, collated through the Law Enforcement Management Information System (LEMIS). With over 21\,000 species traded\, and even more when considering CITES listings\, the scale of wildlife trade is staggering. \nUnderstanding the origins of traded wildlife is crucial. Shockingly\, a significant portion comes from the wild\, with over 2.85 billion individuals traded over the studied period. This not only poses risks to species survival but also facilitates the spread of pests and pathogens\, including species classified as “injurious invasive.” \nOur discussion will shed light on the implications of this trade and emphasize the urgent need for better data collection and standardization. With many nations failing to adequately monitor and release data on wildlife trade\, our ability to regulate and ensure sustainability is severely undermined. We’ll underscore the importance of improved data collection\, especially in major import regions like the European Union\, to mitigate the risks posed by wildlife trade to species survival.

SUMMARY:Social Re-Use Of Confiscated Assets As A Legal Response Against Illicit Trade: Issues And Perspectives For European Criminal Justice
DESCRIPTION:The preventive and restorative goals of social re-use need to be analysed both ‘in the books’ and ‘in action’\, in order to discover how transnational confiscation procedures in the EU can be streamlined as a fit socio-legal response against illicit trades. The overarching question to address is if\, how\, and to what extent social re-use of confiscated assets can be improved as a ‘doubly constructive’ means\, helping both to prevent illicit trade practices and to boost economic and social development in target communities \n  \n
