ACHIEVEMENT #4
THE UN GENERAL ASSEMBLY
RECOGNIZED ICCWC’S
PIVOTAL ROLE
Over the past decades, wildlife crime has risen steadily on the global agenda, leading to
increasing recognition of ICCWC. Since 2010, ICCWC’s tools, support, and coordination
have elevated the issue on the world stage, reflected in successive United Nations General
Assembly (UNGA) resolutions. Beginning with the first dedicated resolution on wildlife
trafficking in 2015 and continuing through those adopted in 2017, 2019, 2021, 2022 and 2023,
Member States have consistently recognized wildlife crime as a threat to development,
security, and public health, and identified ICCWC as a key partner in the global response.
Most recently, a 2025 resolution reaffirmed this commitment, highlighting ICCWC’s vital
role in providing technical assistance to countries worldwide.
These resolutions have been transforming how the world responds to wildlife crime.
Governments are increasingly treating it as serious transnational organized crime,
mobilizing greater political will, funding, and inter-agency cooperation.
