Abstract

FEO VALERO, Jordi  and  HERENCIA CARRASCO, Salvador. The integrity and independence of the Judicial Power as a guarantee against the Threat of the Transnational Organized Crime. Relac. int. [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.55, pp.91-110. ISSN 2314-2766.

This article analyzes the existing United Nations instruments used to cope with the issues arising from transnational organized crime and corruption. The aim therefore  is to highlight a series of elements that could be useful in view of the results of the VIII Summit of the Americas, which focuses on corruption and democratic governance. Al- though it is necessary to increase international cooperation, legal and institutional re- forms in the States are lagging behind the different manifestations of this phenomenon. Accordingly, it is necessary to find more expeditious means allowing the authorities to respond.

Keywords : Corruption; Independencia Judicial; Judicial Independence; UN Special Rap-porteur.
