To me, #BorderManagement = diplomacy + fieldwork + trust
📃Last month: ASEAN roadmap negotiations
🌅2weeks ago: along the #Mekong w/ #BorderLiaisonOffice &village patrol teams
Both matter.
@UNODC_SEAP is proud to support frontline efforts like these...where policy meets practice.
Security management master's students visited us today to learn how @UNODC addresses transnational organized crime in #SEAsia & leadership in action.
“Creating opportunities for students to learn from UNODC’s work — inspiring them to think, explore, and act for positive change.”
The riverside city awash with crime.
Laos' Golden Triangle Special Economic Zone has become a centre for money laundering, trafficking and online finance and romance scams, a multibillion-dollar industry that shows no signs of abating, warn international authorities and analysts

The global cocaine market continues to break its own records — and not in a good way.
UNODC’s new #WorldDrugReport shows surging production, trafficking & use of cocaine but also of fentanyl, nitazines & meth.
As profits grow, so does the power of organized crime. ⬇️
Strong borders need strong women leaders.
20 customs officers from🇰🇭🇱🇦🇹🇭🇻🇳came together for PCCP’s leadership training — comparing experiences, building skills, strengthening network and discussing border strategies for the region.
Grateful to @AusBorderForce 🇦🇺 for the support!
Border liaison officers seized 2.2 tons of meth in Laos in the Golden Triangle, a top drug trafficking hub.
This success, made possible with @UNODC training & support of US & Canada, shows how technical assistance & cross-border cooperation can push back against organized crime.
UNODC joined force w/🇨🇦 #CBSA & #RTP 🇹🇭 to celebrate women breaking barriers in law enforcement.
Building gender-balanced security institutions isn't just fair—it’s the key to stronger, more inclusive justice systems. #IWD2025
Hearing so many eye-opening stories from women in law enforcement and realized we never thank them enough for carrying our safety at the expense of theirs.
Happy International Women's Day to all women who, against all odds, still persist. ✊🏼 #IWD2025
For women in Southeast Asia, the path to leadership in law enforcement and the judiciary is still a challenging one.
Learn how they're breaking barriers in #Cambodia:

Productive meeting with Thai Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Anutin Charnvirakul.
We agreed on the need to expand cooperation on border security and step up efforts to tackle drug trafficking, cybercrime and transnational organized crime across Southeast Asia.
For two decades, Police Colonel Knourn has woken up at 7 a.m.—on the good days at least.
In this story, we follow the routine of this border officer in #Cambodia and hear about the time he managed to dismantle a drug trafficking network: https://t.co/DRDYOJrrqM
Glad to meet Minister of Justice of Thailand @TaweeSodsong to discuss cooperation against drug trafficking, production & use in Southeast Asia.
We also addressed regional challenges of cybercrime, scams & organized crime, and plans for the 15th anniversary of the Bangkok Rules.
Joined by Japanese #MoFA delegates to witness firsthand how Border Liaison Offices serve as key cross-border cooperation mechanism.
🙏🏽🇯🇵 for their longstanding support of BLOs, enhancing UNODC's work to connect frontline officers and build stronger regional responses to TOC.
Organized crime knows no borders.

Today is the first-ever International Day Against Transnational Organized Crime.
To mark it, we've partnered with @ItalyinThailand & @ChulalongkornU, among others, and given students a platform to #StopOrganizedCrime through awareness-raising campaigns.
Through last week’s National Policy Dialogue on #BorderManagement, 77 delegates from 15 Thai 🇹🇭 agencies reaffirmed that protecting borders from criminal threats requires strong cooperation between law enforcement and border communities.
Honored to join CIB, DSI& ChulaUni experts, discussed the intricate web of border crimes - from casino-facilitated money laundering to "pig butchering" scams & forced criminality
Combating these threats requires robust law enforcement + informed citizens as our frontline defense
