Website: Combating economic and organised crime: corruption, money laundering, cybercrime, organised crime, trafficking in human beings

The approach of the Council of Europe against economic and organised crime consists of three interrelated elements:

1. The setting of European standards (Conventions and Recommendations)

2. Monitoring of compliance with these standards

3. Capacity building through technical cooperation programmes in order to enable countries to implement European standards and to follow up on recommendations resulting from monitoring activities
