Information security against the threats of transnational organized crime

The article is devoted to the study of information security against the threats of transnational organized crime. Organized crime is a potential and major threat to the national security of our country. The relevance of the research topic is determined by the fact that transnational organized crime is not only a potential, but also a real threat to national security, state sovereignty, and the provision of human and citizen rights and freedoms. Transnational crime is a phenomenon that is not only not limited to the borders of one state, but also affects the global security of humanity. Transnational organized crime is a significant problem for the development of Ukraine as a democratic, social and legal state with the irreversibility of Ukraine's European and Euro-Atlantic course. At the same time, the issue of the commission of criminal offenses by organized crime is one of the most complex and problematic both in the theory of criminal law and in judicial and investigative practice. Attention is drawn to the fact that since the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, the issue of ensuring information security, as a component of national security, has acquired a new meaning, and therefore requires research and resolution. The article focuses on issues of legislative consolidation of the concepts «information security», «national security», «transnational organized security». The main provisions of the normative legal acts establishing these concepts were analyzed, as well as threats to national security and problems of organized crime were determined. The United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, November 15, 2000, approved by resolution 55/25 of the General Assembly regarding the consolidation of the concept of «transnational organized crime», «crime of a transnational nature» was analyzed.
