Summary

Ten years after a report to the U.N. Congress detailing the growing importance of international crime, the author asks what danger it brings and how we can try, both on the national and international level, to smother it by building compliance systems rather than by perpetuating the faith in deterrence systems.

Dix ans après un rapport au congrès des Nations Unies où il observait notamment l’importance grandissante de la criminalité transnationale, l’auteur s’interroge sur le mal qu’elle provoque et sur la manière dont on peut, tant au niveau national qu’international, tenter de la juguler, par l’adhésion plutôt que par la dissuasion.
