An international conference in Ho Chi Minh City, organized by HCMULAW in cooperation with foreign universities, brought together experts from Asia, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand to discuss key challenges in combating transnational crime — human trafficking, money laundering, corruption, cybercrime, and human rights violations.

A wave of speeches and presentations demonstrated that the most serious obstacles remain the lack of legal cooperation, gaps in extradition, the shortcomings of international mutual assistance mechanisms, as well as inconsistent legislation across different countries.

The conference became a platform for proposals to strengthen international agreements, harmonize investigation approaches, expand corporate legal liability for cross-border crimes, and enhance tools for monitoring financial flows and digital offenses.
