TRANSNATIONAL ORGANIZED CRIME1
Introduction
The emotions and feelings regarding human cost in relation to terrorism has spread
to every place of the world. Transnational organized crime or TOC is regarded as an
organized crime that is synchronised through the borders of the nation. Such crime
involves associations and groups who work in several nations in order to plan, plot and
implement unlawful business undertakings. For achieving their objectives, the criminal
associations utilize methodical corruption and violence. An instance of such vehemence
and viciousness by the terrorists is the attack that were made by the terrorists on the
offices of the United Nations in the city of Baghdad. The attacks were made on the 19th
day of the month of August in the year of 2003. This particular attack claimed so many
lives. Among the twenty two lives that were lost that day, was the life of Sergio De
Mello, who was the representative to the Secretary General of the United Nations.
Terrorism evidently makes an actual and direct impact in relation to human rights, with
distressing and upsetting costs regarding the enjoyment and satisfaction in connection to
the right to liberty, life and the corporeal integrity relating to the victims. Further,
terrorism has the ability to destabilize and disrupt governments, weaken and demoralize
civil society, endanger security and peace, and intimidate economic and social expansion
and growth. Antiterrorism or counter-terrorism integrates the practice, military strategies,
techniques, and tactics that the military, the government, the intelligence agencies, and
the law enforcement utilize in order to fight, combat prevent or avert terrorism. This
paper shall discuss the ‘Potential Congressional Concerns’. This paper shall discuss the

transnational threats and the illegal activities and how the intelligence agencies provide
their support in relation to the enforcement of laws regarding this matter. A discussion
shall be forwarded in relation to the fact that how the agencies in relation to law
enforcement acquire the international missions. The management of the relationship in
relation to intelligence and the law enforcement shall be discussed in the paper. The
paper shall explain the manner in which the intelligence agencies are utilized to enforce
the laws in this regard. Finally, this paper shall also discuss the role of intelligence
agencies and the law enforcement in the ‘War against Terror’.
Potential Congressional Concerns
Provided that the strong likelihood that the global and intercontinental function in
relation to law enforcement agencies shall grow continuously, it is believed by the
observers that more deliberation must be provided in connection to making less unclear
or vague differences between security policy and law enforcement and to relations
between intelligence and law enforcement agencies. Congress may selectively concern
itself in relation to the comprehensive delineations of the cooperation of intelligence
cooperation regarding the law enforcement. Congress approves and sanctions the
numerous instrumentalities in connection to policy of United States, seizes funds, and
gives effect to oversight. However, the manner in which the Congress provide resources
and supervises the agencies relating to intelligence and law enforcement may not be
augmented for providing support in connection to the embryonic and coinciding missions
regarding the world after Cold War. Congress has studied and examined the coordinative

apparatuses, which have been created and recognized, however, has not been given the
statutory charters (Kalla & Broockman, 2016).
Lapse of intelligence, foreign policy, and law enforcement is mostly accepted and
commenced by diverse groups of committees having dissimilar plans and agendas.
Regarding the diverse oversight duties, it is challenging to deliver unified and unbroken
oversight of the activities relating to law enforcement and intelligence overseas. The
authority and dominion regarding the Judiciary Committees is considered to be very
extensive, which encompasses several domestic issues that includes immigration and
abortion and, in relation to the Senate, validation or approval by Federal judges. Due to
various causes, no steady reauthorizations regarding the Justice Department programs has
been done since FY1980. Contrarily, the ‘Intelligence and Armed Services Committees’
frequently emphasizes on obtaining of progressive technologies and the connections
between military services and the intelligence instead of on operational and functioning
practices. Further, neither the Judiciary Committees nor the intelligence generally deal in
a direct manner in relation to queries regarding foreign policy, which are considered to be
the domain and sphere of the ‘House International Relations Committee’ and the ‘Senate
Foreign Relations Committee’. In the circumstances in which the military, intelligence,
diplomatic, and law enforcement efforts are meticulously connected, substantial
difficulties in relation to effectual congressional oversight may ascend provided that the
dissimilar concerns of numerous committees and also the understandable tendency of the
executive branch to make best utilization of flexibility for the employment of distinct
