چکیده:
Transnational organized crime is considered one of the most important challenges facing the international community in the 21st century. The international community, and especially the United Nations, took action in the late 20th century to create a convention entitled "United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime" along with two protocols to establish alliance, cooperation and coordination in combating these types of acts. This convention was opened for signature by governments in Palermo, Italy in December 2000 and was named the Palermo Convention. Its first protocol is titled "Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children", and its second protocol is known as "Smuggling of Migrants by Land, Air and Sea". This article attempts to examine the aspects of illegal immigration by sea, which occurs for various reasons, and ways to reduce this problem in the light of international cooperation.
