Research - The Mediterranean Sea and International Regulatory Models for Transnational Organized Crime
Thea’s research uses the migration/refugee crisis in the Mediterranean Sea as a case study to examine whether the harmonized offence model in the Suppression Conventions, particularly the Migrant Smuggling Protocol, is an effective and appropriate method to combat transnational crime, and promote cooperation between states.
