Commission on Crime Prevention
and Criminal Justice
Agenda: “Deliberating upon combating transnational organized crime and terrorism in developing economies”
About the committee: The Commission acts as the principal policymaking body of the United Nations in the field of crime prevention and criminal justice which includes improving international action to combat national and transnational crime and the efficiency and fairness of criminal justice administration systems. The CCPCJ also offers Member States a forum for exchanging expertise, experience, and information to develop national and international strategies while identifying priorities for combating crime.
About the agenda: As organized crime groups join ever more complex networks spanning the globe, the crimes become increasingly transnational, and the types of crime committed become increasingly diversified. Investigating and prosecuting them is getting tougher, requiring UNODC to help countries increase cooperation and build integrated strategies aimed squarely at dismantling complex organized criminal networks. Many developing countries are plagued not just by ordinary volume crimes, but also by culturally-sanctioned violence against women and gays and serious forms of transnational crime such as sex trafficking, drug trafficking, murderous incursions by militias, and theft of natural resources including valuable minerals.
