INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION AND SPECIAL INVESTIGATIVE MEASURES
Purpose
The International community recognizes crime as a phenomenon that still represents a serious safety issue, a serious threat and danger to the countries and the international community. The harmful consequences that it causes is becoming a reason and necessity for continuous undertaking and improving the measures and activities for its prevention and suppression. It is a fact that certain institutions and instruments, are acting and are practiced only at regional level, and that, there are still countries in which they still are not incorporated into their legislations. For these reasons, the purpose of the paper is to point out the positive effects of the use and their practice and acceptance in all countries, i.e. their full internationalization.
Design/Methods/Approach
The main goal of the paper will be realized by analysing the content of the provisions of the conventions and protocols that sets up the foundations for international police and judiciary cooperation, institutions such as: Interpol, Europol, Frontex, Eurojust, European Judicial Network and instruments - Red notice, European Arrest Warrant, Fugitive Active Search Teams, European Network of Fugitive Active Search Teams, Special Investigative Measures, with which the cooperation is accomplished. Each institution and instrument will be individually elaborated in the context of international cooperation, after which appropriate conclusions will be drawn for their efficiency in the fight against crime.
Findings
International cooperation in dealing with crime foresees and is conducted in accordance with international Conventions, Protocols and other legal acts. They offer the opportunity to conduct an effective and successful fight against crime. However, the emergence of new forms and ways of committing crime, impose the need for constant developing of cooperation, promotion, discovering and developing new forms of cooperation.
Originality/Value
Bearing in mind the fact that the undertaking of measures and activities in deal with crime only at the national or regional level does not give the expected results, the author considers that the internationalization of the institutions and instruments of international cooperation in dealing with crime is becoming a necessity. Only by practicing the same methods of action globally, a greater efficiency can be expected.
