The Distribution of Counterfeit Goods now a transnational crime

[geovalin]

Cambodia listed the illicit trafficking of counterfeit goods as a transnational crime yesterday, during the 20th ASEAN Senior Officials Meeting on Transnational Crime (SOMTC). Attending the meeting virtually, Meach Sophana, a secretary of state at the Interior Ministry and head of the Anti-Counterfeit Products Committee, said prevention of the crime will require a strong collaboration from Asean regional members.

 

The SOMTC was attended by leaders from various countries including Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. They met for the first time virtually in a bid to address the issue of new transnational crimes in the region. Sophana explained that transnational crimes are those occurring across national borders and pose a threat to national and international security.

 

He added that the effort to stop illicit distributions of counterfeit products requires a joint commitment from neighbouring countries as well as relevant agencies to formulate compatible measures, strategies and prevention of the crimes effectively. Sophana also identified terrorism, human and drug trafficking, money laundering and cybercrimes as new types of transnational crime.
