DRUGS, PROSTITUTION, GUN-RUNNING... U-N CRIME-FIGHTER ANTONIO MARIA COSTA ON
>> WORLD VIEW WITH BRIAN STEWART, THIS WEEKEND...
>>
>> Our subject this week is a gritty one: crime. On an almost unimaginable
>> scale. Every form of international crime, from drug-smuggling to child
>> prostitution, to money-laundering to corruption, and much, much more.
>>
>> Crimes committed by multitudes, and by governments that loot whole
>> countries.
>> Of all the concerns weighing down the United Nations, one doesn't usually
>> think of crime-fighting. But in fact that is an increasingly pressing
>> international concern and this week we talk to the UN's own "Crime Czar."
>>
>> Antonio Maria Costa is executive director of the UN Office of Drugs and
>> Crime. As such, he seeks to coordinate world-wide efforts to improve
>> crime-fighting at all levels.
>>
>> A senior Italian diplomat and economist, Mr. Costa was formerly head of
>> economics and finance in the European Union. Now the finances he looks into
>> is nasty stuff indeed.
