Cooperation, Interaction and Fusion of Transnational Organised Crime and Transnational Jihadism: The New Terrorism

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

This chapter explains that transnational organised crime and international Jihadism profit significantly from ongoing conflicts, wars and the weakening and failure of governmental structures. The empirical analysis of the interaction, cooperation and partial fusion of actors of (transnational) organised crime and of international Jihadism shows that weak and failed states in conflict areas like North and West Africa, East Africa, the Near and Middle East, the Balkans region, Afghanistan, Caucasus and other regions are crucial for the prosperity of both groups. The analysis of selected hybrid actors indicates a fusion of organised crime and Jihadism on the basis of common features like decentralised networks and cells; local, regional or national political and religious Jihadi agendas; multiple and heterogeneously structured financing activities; and complex member communities which are hard to detect.

    “The Security Council today called upon all Member States to prevent terrorists from benefiting directly or indirectly from ransom payments or political concessions, and further, to secure the safe release of hostages. Unanimously adopting resolution 2133 (2014), the Council reaffirmed resolution 1373 (2001)—the wide-ranging text it adopted following the 11 September 2001 attacks in the United States—in particular, its decisions that all States shall prevent and suppress the financing of terrorist acts, and refrain from providing support to any entities or persons involved, including by suppressing recruitment of members of terrorist groups and eliminating the supply of weapons to them. All States should prohibit their nationals, or any persons or entities within their territories, from making funds, financial assets or economic resources available for the benefit of those involved in terrorist acts. By the text adopted today, the Council called on States to cooperate closely in incidents of kidnapping and hostage-taking by terrorists, reaffirming that all States should afford one another the “greatest measure of assistance” in connection with related criminal investigations or proceedings. It also called on States to continue expert discussions on kidnapping for ransom by terrorists within the United Nations and other organizations, including the Global Counterterrorism Forum”. https://www.un.org/press/en/2014/sc11262.doc.htm; 27 January 2014.
