This research paper presents a general overview of preventing and combating organized crime as observed from both the national perspective concerning the Republic of North Macedonia and the international perspective concerning various legal acts and policies recognized on a global level. Such legal study, moreover, establishes the objectives to display the current legal mechanisms simultaneously criticized by their efficiency in the fight and prevention against organized crime within the country and beyond. The research methods used within this paper include a comparative-legal approach of the considerably vague notion of organized crime, as well as a critical analysis concerning legal acts related to the prevention and fight against organized crime. The results of the research methods implemented are displayed within each section of the paper and simultaneously reflect upon the expected ramification of this study. Although not explicitly stated in theory, the implications of this study in a practical manner consider criticisms toward the vagueness of the notion of organized crime, the attempt to achieve a globally accepted concept of organized crime, as well as the effectiveness of the number of international and national legal acts in the Republic of North Macedonia addressing the issue of organized crime.
