  "summary": "United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime Executive Director Monica Juma has emphasized the need for stronger international cooperation to combat the rising threat of cross-border fraud. Speaking at a high-level event during the 81st UN General Assembly in New York, Juma warned that criminal networks are becoming more sophisticated and challenging for individual countries to contain. She stressed that countries must move beyond isolated national responses and strengthen cooperation across borders to effectively tackle this issue. Juma emphasized that weak cooperation, fragmented information, and inadequate support for victims are creating gaps that fraud networks can exploit, and urged governments, law enforcement agencies, the private sector, and civil society to work more closely to build resilience against fraud.",
