💨 Abstract

A United Nations report warns that Pacific Island nations are becoming attractive bases for global criminal gangs due to increasing criminal activity, including drug and people trafficking, illegal fishing, money laundering, cybercrime, and the presence of foreign crime groups. Australia and the U.S. have expressed concerns about China's growing influence in the region, and have committed funds to strengthen policing in the islands.
