SUMMARY:When illicit power meets legal ethics: strengthening the rule of 
 law worldwide
DESCRIPTION:Organised crime poses a direct threat to the rule of law. Ill
 egally obtained money is used to buy influence\, corrupt institutions\, 
 and infiltrate legitimate markets. This undermines public trust in justi
 ce and blurs the line between the underworld and the upper world. Lawyer
 s also encounter these dynamics as gatekeepers\, advisors\, or defenders
 .\n\nMany jurisdictions have strict rules on how lawyers should handle s
 uspicious clients and funds\, yet there are also examples where things g
 o wrong or where such rules are under pressure. This raises fundamental 
 questions about independence\, professional ethics and responsibility wi
 thin the rule of law. How can the legal profession strengthen resilience
  against criminal influence without compromising its core values? And wh
 at can we learn from countries operating within different legal or cultu
 ral frameworks? The fight against organised crime is not only a legal ch
 allenge but also a moral one\, striking at the very essence of our profe
 ssion\, worldwide.\n
