UNICRI - United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute; Turin, Italy
In the recent years, UNICRI has acted as coordinator of the Institutes comprising the UN Crime prevention and Criminal justice Programme Network (PNI), among other things by assisting in the organization of the PNI workshops, traditionally taking place on the occasion of the Quinquennial Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Congresses and the Sessions of the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, held every year.
In collaboration with HEUNI, UNICRI has developed a Training Manual on the topic of trafficking in human beings in peace-support operation (PSO) areas, addressed to international law enforcement personnel. The manual was used in 2066 for training courses to international police officers on-mission in Southeast Europe.
With the adoption of the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC) and its additional Protocols in 2000, UNICRI initiated a series of international and national studies within the framework of the relevant Global Programmes, launched by UNODC, on transnational organized crime, trafficking in human beings, and corruption. At the same time, UNICRI developed technical cooperation programmes on justice reform target at African countries in post-conflict situations.
In collaboration with UNDOC, UNICRI implemented the project "Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru in the Fight Against Corruption and Related Serious Crimes", to facilitate and deepen the knowledge of international and regional legal instruments against corruption, in particular the UN Conventions against Corruption (UNCAC) and the UN Conventions against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC). Another example of successful cooperation with UNODC has been the implementation of UNICRI "Programme of Action on Trafficking in Minors and Young from Nigeria to Italy for the purpose of sexual exploitation", whose Nigeria component was carried out in collaboration with UNODC Local Office.
UNICRI is part of the UN Counter Terrorism Implementation Task Force (CTITF) established by the Secretary-General in July 2005, in an attempt to ensure coordinated and coherent efforts across the UN system to counter terrorism. In order to implement the global strategy, Member States receive assistance with their counter-terrorism efforts through the work of various United Nations departments, programmes and specialized agencies.
The UNICRI Documentation/Information Centre supports the Institute's research, training and field operations, and serves the Crime prevention and Criminal justice Programme Network members, being of great value for research purposes in the field of crime prevention and criminal justice and as well as international organizations, national institutions, NGOs and selected experts/researchers who greatly benefit from them. The Library's Collection covers multidisciplinary aspects of crime prevention and criminal justice, including, inter alia, terrorism, drug abuse and trafficking and amounts to more than 20.000 monographs, journals and yearbooks.

UNAFEI - United Nations Asia and Far East Institute for the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders; Tokyo, Japan
The United Nations Asia and Far East Institute for the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders is a UN regional institute, established in 1962 with the aim of promoting the sound development of criminal justice systems and mutual cooperation in Asia and the Pacific Region. UNAFEI activities focus on training courses and seminars for personnel in crime prevention and criminal justice administration, and the research and study of crime prevention and the treatment of offenders. It also conducts special seminars outside of Japan jointly with the governments of participating nations, to promote effective measures for the fight against crime.
At the 11th UN Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (Bangkok, April 2005), the PNI Institutes organized several workshops, highlighting the growing importance of research and the exchange of information and experience in the field of crime prevention and criminal justice. The subjects of the workshops have, in line with substantive agenda of the congress, focused on specific problems; particularly, UNAFEI's workshop has focused on "Measures to Combat Economic Crime, including Money Laundering". At the beginning of 2006 the Asia and Far East Institute published the report of the workshop.
At the 15 th Session of the Crime Commission (Vienna, April 2006), the PNI Institutes organized a workshop on "Maximizing the effectiveness of technical assistance provided by Member States in crime prevention and criminal justice: solutions for the future: key components for effective technical assistance"; the presentation of UNAFEI focused on recent Technical Assistance experience and collaborative partnership.
At the recent 16 th Session of the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (Vienna, April 2007), the workshop organized by the Institutes of the United Nations Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Programme Network focused on "Successful Crime Reduction and Prevention strategies in the Urban Context"; the Director of UNAFEI delivered a paper on the issue "Effective Crime Prevention, Including Youth Crime, in the Urban Context based upon Community Involvement - An Asian Perspective".
In 2005, UNAFEI participated in the "International Training Course on the Criminal Justice System Reforms in Latin America", held in Costa Rica in co-operation with JICA and ILANUD, the Institute's PNI counterpart in the region. The participants were judges, prosecutors and attorneys, public and private, engaged in defence.
UNAFEI, in collaboration with the UN, held a seminar for high-ranking officials of 19 countries from Asia and the Pacific Region in 2002, to promote the ratification of the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC), while it co-operated to deliver a seminar on UN Counter-Terrorism Conventions, for encouraging accession to the Conventions. UNAFEI also gives lectures on the UN Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) to facilitate the understanding of the Conventions.
In the area of terrorism, the seminar entitled "The New International Terrorism: Prevention Strategies" was held in Turin on 19-20 April 2002, focusing on Europe in the fight against terrorism; terrorism and organized crime; terrorism and Islamic fundamentalism; and terrorism and emergency legislation. The closed-door meeting entitled "Terrorism Prevention Strategies during Major Events" was held in Turin on 17 June 2002, gathering a number of international experts. The meeting aimed at analysing and studying the best practices to be implemented in such events as the Olympic Games, in order to offer consulting services to the local authorities with a view of the Winter Olympic Games in Turin in 2006. The speakers have been chosen from among experts indicated by international institutes: Interpol, Europol, NATO, FBI, Research Centres, Italian law enforcement agencies, Olympic Committee.
Close cooperation between the UNODC and UNAFEI in promoting research and training activities in the field of crime prevention and criminal justice has been achieved in the recent past through the participation of UNODC's experts, primarily senior officers, in UNAFEI's seminars and training courses as visiting lecturers. The continuation of this practice on a regular basis will strengthen the ties between UNODC and the Institute. UNAFEI has sound capacities to provide training programmes and it offers training courses, workshops and seminars, with a variable duration and on different topics.
Participants to the training courses/seminars are practitioners/administrators holding positions in Criminal Justice field and in branches of Crime Prevention and the Treatment of Offenders, or in related national and international organizations. In addition to benefiting from the teaching offered during the programme they greatly enhance their professional skills while networking and interacting with professionals from the regions, particularly Asia and the Pacific but also from Africa, Latin America and Europe.
UNAFEI holds two international training courses and one international senior seminar annually. The international training course held in spring mainly deals with the Treatment of Offenders, while the one held in autumn concentrates on Crime Prevention and countermeasures against various crimes. The international senior seminar tackles current Criminal Justice issues.
