The Nexus Initiative was officially endorsed at the Eighth GCTF Ministerial Plenary Meeting in New York on 20 September 2017. The Initiative, supported by the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI), is developing a set of internationally recognized, non-binding good practices that can serve as the basis for international engagement, assistance and training to address the potential challenge posed by the nexus between terrorism and transnational organized crime, and can help authorities at global, national and local level solve this problem.
