Trends in Organized Crimes
International Journal of Law and Legal Jurisprudence Studies :ISSN:2348-8212:Volume 3 Issue 4 154 TRENDS IN ORGANIZED CRIMES Manik Sethi and Smeeksha Pandey1 Abstract There is wide support for the argument and assertion that organized crime has increased in the last decade. But the problem for any discussion on organized crime is establishing the extent to which it exists and the size of the threat to democracy and security that it could represent. The myth, mystery and secrecy that surrounds organized crime and the clandestine nature with which it operates makes it hard to quantify and reach sound conclusions on. One of the most important factors is the establishing of a proper and sound working definition of organized crime in order to move away from the mythical notions that pervade the popular conscious and perhaps many security and intelligence institutions within India. Organized crime, it would seem, is extremely complex involving many different groups and people who operate in a variety of different ways and styles. Some it is equally important to establish the differences as well as the common features of organized crime. It is not possible to respond effectively to organized crime until it is fully understood. The goal of any organized criminal activity is to make huge profits that need to be laundered before the capital can be used to expand their illegal business empires. Rendering banking transparent at a business level would go some way to eradicating money laundering, ultimately impeding and inhibiting the expansion of organized crime, and arguably represents one of the key measures in its control. -
Hunting for Dawood Ibrahim - the International Terrorism Monitor: Paper No
HUNTING FOR DAWOOD IBRAHIM - THE INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM MONITOR: PAPER NO. 122 By B.Raman In their happiness over the conviction of some of the accused involved in the Mumbai explosions of March,1993, the Indian Police and other security agencies should not forget that the mastermind of this act of mass casualty terrorism continues to live under the protection of the Pervez Musharraf regime in Pakistan. He, Tiger Memon and others enjoying the hospitality of the Pakistani authorities have to be brought to justice. 2. It is unfortunate that the Government of India headed by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has not been articulating openly and vigorously the perfidy of the Musharraf regime in giving sanctuary and protection to Dawood Ibrahim, Tiger Memon and eighteen others wanted for trial in India on charges of their involvement in acts of terrorism such as killing hundreds of innocent civilians through improvised explosive devices (IEDs), hijacking of aircraft etc. 3. Dawood Ibrahim has also to be interrogated by independent investigators outside Pakistan on his links with A.Q.Khan, Pakistan's nuclear scientist, and his role in the financing of Pakistan's clandestine procurement of military nuclear material abroad and their transport to Pakistan and in setting up a factory in Malaysia through a Sri Lankan Muslim of Indian origin ( Bukhary Seyed Abu Tahir) for the manufacture of centrifuges required for uranium enrichment. 4. By giving protection to Dawood Ibrahim in Pakistani territory, Musharraf has become what is known in law as an accomplice after the fact in the trial relating to the Mumbai explosions of March,1993. -

D-Company and the 1993 Mumbai Bombings: Rethinking a Case of ‘Crime-Terror Convergence’ in South Asia
Mahadevan – D-company & 1993 Mumbai Bombings 54 The European Review of Organised Crime Original article D-Company and the 1993 Mumbai Bombings: rethinking a case of ‘crime-terror convergence’ in South Asia Prem Mahadevan* Abstract: In 1993, a transnational crime organization known as D-Company carried out mass-casualty terrorist bombings in Mumbai, India. The reasons for this action have been attributed to religious grievances. However, little attention has been given to the role played by Pakistan’s Inter Services Intelligence in supporting the bombings. Taking into account what has emerged in the public domain over the last 28 years regarding ISI links with D-Company and with international jihadist groups more generally, a re-assessment of the 1993 bombings is required. Hitherto regarded as an example of ‘crime-terror convergence’, it appears that D-Company might be more aptly considered an instrument of covert action. Keywords: Terrorism, heroin, gold, intelligence, covert operations. * Prem Mahadevan is Senior Analyst, Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime.

In what remains the bloodiest-ever terror incident on Indian soil, 257 civilians were killed by 12 near-synchronous explosions. The bombs had been assembled using military-grade explosive smuggled from abroad. The events of that day, Friday 12 March 1993, are considered by scholars as an example of hybridity between organized crime and political terrorism (Rollins, Wyler and Rosen, 2010: 14-16). -

Vijay Sarthi Principal, S. P. College, Pulgoan. ABSTRACT : The idea and implementation of Human Rights dates back to 3rd Century Before Christ in the history of human civilization when Aristotle and his master Plato seriously attempted for the security of common man. Of course Aristotle desired to prevent the atrocities and sins of the powerful on the weaker sections of the society through the fear of Religion. But when the suppressors and oppressors started using Religion itself as an instrument against to the people, the purpose and insight of Aristotle was defeated. Hence the rebellion of Martin Luther of Germany and Nietzsche against the hierarchy of Popes, Arch Bishops of church. However the importance of Human Rights was remarkably realized by mankind after the First World War and the Second World War when the military powers started committing excesses against the innocent people and the prisoners of war of the respective countries. KEYWORDS : history of human civilization , Human Rights , natural law stemming. INTRODUCTION : The aftermath of the two world wars and the emergence of the French Revolution the terrifying fear of violence committed and the bloodshed motivated the . i n emerging democratic countries for the formation of the Human Rights. It is this sense that Human Rights are considered as important and vital for the survival of mankind on the Earth. The Concept, Scope and meaning of Human Rights: The actual origin and basis of the concept of human rights can be summed up as the law of the land to protect the common man. -
