One of the most complex challenges faced by today�s interconnected and interdependent common village is organized crime, which essentially constitutes to be nothing less than a guerrilla war against society. Organized crime in itself has multiple branches within, including illegal wildlife trade, terrorism, money laundering and trafficking and its impact can deter the very core of human society- from human safety to institutionalizing evils of corruption to having an adverse impact on the environment. The authors of this paper endeavor to establish the spread of organized crime as a phenomenon of increasing globalization and its further facilitation by the use of technology. The paper focusses on the recent increase in the industry of illegal wildlife trade and terrorist financing as substantiated upon in the recent reports released by FATF, keeping in mind the international jurisprudence and the challenges faced by them in addressing these transnational crimes and attempt to make a case for stricter implementation of legal instruments and concerted and coordinated efforts amongst nations to address the same.
