The Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (Crime Commission) is the central body in the United Nations system for dealing with crime prevention and criminal justice policy.
It monitors the use and application of relevant United Nations standards and norms, and guides policy development in response to emerging forms of crime.
We participate at meetings of the Crime Commission and the expert and intergovernmental expert meetings under its mandate.
The Commission is also the preparatory body for and implements many of the recommendations of the five-yearly Crime Congress.
