ADDRESS BY UNITED NATIONS REPRESENTATIVES
After the adoption of the agenda, the Chairperson, Mr. Minoru Shikita introduced
Mr. Joseph Acakpo-Satchivi the representative of the United Nations and Mr. Mohamed
E. Abdul-Aziz, Senior Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Officer.
Mr. Joseph Acakpo-Satchivi in his address stated that international cooperation forcrime prevention and criminal justice is an important item and on the development
agenda of the United Nations. The repeated calls for strengthened technical or material
assistance to developing countries attest to the pressing need to build a solid foundationof justice in our modern society through peace and development. Both peace anddevelopment are seriously undermined by inequities, corruption, social disorders andescalating crime. Furthermore, Mr. Satchivi pointed that it is the right moment tostart a thorough review of the work programme of the Institute in all its aspects with aview to rationalizing it and improving its efficiency and effectiveness as the wind ofreform is blowing everywhere across the globe.
Mr. Satchivi concluded his address by reiterating the call to the United Nations
Institutes for the prevention of crime and treatment of offenders to further develop
their research, training and technical assistance capacities. Collaborative networks
through non-governmental organizations and national research and educational
institutions must meet the growing requests from developing countries for technicaland scientific assistance.
Mr. Mohamed Abdul-Aziz in his address stated that the achievements of UNAFEI
were due to the effective leadership, a dedicated staff and a viable programme of work.
He applauded the good work done by UNAFEI to advance policy and practice in thefield of crime prevention and criminal justice not only in Asia and the Pacific region but
also in other developing countries. The training activities of UNAFEI provided an
opportunity to practitioners from different countries to compare practices and learn
from each other’s experience.
Mr. Abdul-Aziz stated that the efforts of the institute to collect data on crime trends,
crime prevention strategies and the treatment of offenders should be strengthened. He
suggested that UNAFEI develop a pragmatic strategy to raise awareness of its mission
among individuals and nations, publicize its activities and receive feedback from theoutside world. He also suggested the creation of a more solid base for a regional
information system on crime trends and crime prevention practices.
Mr. Abdul-Aziz further stated that in the re-defined role of the United Nations Crime
Prevention and Criminal Justice Programme, contributions made by the institutes suchas UNAFEI are not only desirable but essential. He assured the leadership and staff of
UNAFEI of the readiness of the United Nations Programme to further strengthen theexisting collaborative ties with it and undertake joint initiatives on issues of mutual
concern and interest.

THE NINTH MEETING OF THE AD HOC ADVISORY COMMITTEE OF EXPERTS
ON UNAFEI WORK PROGRAMMES AND DIRECTIONSDIRECTOR’S REPORTIn presenting his report, Mr. Toichi Fujiwara, the Director of UNAFEI said that thegoal of the Institute is to contribute to sound social development in Asia and the Pacificregion by promoting the prevention of crime and the improvement of criminal justiceadministration through training and research. UNAFEI has conducted a total of 107
international training courses and seminars in which more than 2,593 criminal justicepersonnel have participated, representing 89 different countries of the Asia-Pacific region,
Middle and near East, Latin America and Africa. In addition, UNAFEI conducted aconsiderable number of seminars with the cooperation of other governments. Reportingon the training programmes of UNAFEI, the Director stated that the training
programmes have four distinct characteristic features: a) a practice-oriented programme;b) an integrated approach; c) a participation-centered process; and d) a family
atmosphere.
By selecting urgent problems in the administration of criminal justice in the region,
the Institute has attempted to reflect the changing and contemporary needs of the region.
At the same time, UNAFEI has paid the utmost attention to the priority themes identified
by the Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Programme of the United Nations.
Moreover, experienced practitioners are invited as participants from the different
criminal justice fields.
He explained that the three-month international training courses are organized toprovide participants, who hold relatively high senior positions in their respective
professions, with ample opportunities to discuss common contemporary issues andproblems in the field of crime prevention and criminal justice. The training courses
have been divided into two kinds: courses on the treatment of offenders (spring) andcourses on the administration of criminal justice (autumn). Primarily, the training
course curriculum is composed of the individual presentations on the theme by eachparticipant, lectures by visiting experts and faculty, and group workshops. These
programmes are supplemented by observation visits and study tours to various agencies
including the police, public prosecutors offices, the courts, and correctional andrehabilitation institutions.
International seminars are attended by top administrators, department heads, seniorprosecutors and judges who work at the policy-making level. The seminars have asimilar curriculum as the training courses.
He presented summaries of specific courses and seminars held from the 102nd
International Seminar to the 107th International Training Course. The themes of these
programmes introduced are as follows:
1996: • Crime Prevention through Effective Firearms Regulation (102nd International
Seminar)• Improvement of the Treatment of Offenders through the Strengthening of NonCustodial Measures (103rd International Training Course)• International Cooperation in Criminal Justice Administration (104th
International Training Course)

387

RESOURCE MATERIAL SERIES No. 53
1997: • The Effective Administration of Criminal Justice for the Prevention of
Corruption by Public Officials (105th International Seminar)• The Quest for Effective Juvenile Justice Administration (106th International
Training Course)• The Role and Function of Prosecution in Criminal Justice (107th International
Training Course)
Additionally, the 108th International Seminar, which will be held from 26 January to
27 February 1998, was presented.
The Director further stated that in July 1995 a special seminar was conducted for 30
high-ranking officials from the People’s Republic of China under the sponsorship of
ACPF. These officials and the faculty of UNAFEI discussed specific problems particularly
faced by the Chinese criminal justice administrators and explored practical solutions tosuch problems.
Following the success of this seminar and at the request of the Chinese Government,
another seminar for senior officials was conducted the following year. According to the
Director, the third seminar will be held from 1 to 19 December 1997.
Regarding joint seminars, the Director reported that since 1981, UNAFEI has
conducted 17 joint seminars under the auspices of JICA and in collaboration with hostgovernments. These joint seminars, with more than 100 participants, are customarily
attended by national cabinet members such as Ministers of Justice. It has theparticipation of policy-makers and high-ranking administrators as well as members ofacademia. The joint seminars provide a discussion forum in which participants share
their views and jointly seek solutions to various problems facing the criminal justiceadministration in the host country. UNAFEI contributes to these joint seminars by
carefully selecting the discussion topics in advance, delivering lectures and actively
participating in discussions. The next joint seminar will be in Dhaka, Bangladesh in
March 1998.
In addition to the joint seminars, UNAFEI frequently and actively participates inother seminars overseas. In October this year and under the financial assistance of
JICA, two professors from UNAFEI were sent to Kenya to assist the Kenyan Government
in holding a seminar on crime prevention and the treatment of juvenile delinquents.
Since 1989, UNAFEI has actively assisted the Latin American Institute for thePrevention of Crime and Treatment of Offenders in organizing regional seminars. In
the past, 10 such seminars have been held in cooperation with JICA and the Governmentof Costa Rica. These two-week seminars have about 20 participants, most of whom are
high-ranking judges, public prosecutors and administrators. They focus on drug problems
within the context of such contemporary issues as money laundering, prevention of
drug abuse, the treatment of drug offenders and international cooperation.
Since 1992, UNAFEI has sent two experts to Thailand each year to assist the Officeof the Narcotics Control Board in organizing regional training courses on the theme“Effective Countermeasures against Drug Offenders and the Advancement of Criminal

Justice Administration”. Five such courses have been conducted with the cooperationof JICA and the Royal Thai Government.
Regarding research conducted by the UNAFEI, the UNAFEI faculty constantly strives
to collect useful statistics and other pertinent data as part of its daily activities. These
efforts have crystallized into such UNAFEI publications as “Asia Crime Report No. 1”(1993), which compiled extensive data regarding nine Asian countries. “Crime Trends
in Asia and the Pacific” (1995), another publication, represents efforts by UNAFEI tokeep the international community abreast of the actual crime situation in the AsiaPacific region. The latter publication was submitted to the Ninth United Nations
Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders held in Cairo,
Egypt in April 1995. Additionally, the results of a comparative study were compiled
into a book entitled “Criminal Justice Profiles of Asia,” in 1995. UNAFEI also intends
to publish the results of two other similar projects in the fields of corrections and probation
respectively.
The publications made by the Institute are designed to meet the practical needs ofcriminal justice personnel. Since 1971 the Institute has published 50 editions of the
UNAFEI Resource Material Series. The UNAFEI Newsletter and Ajiken Shoho (a report
on UNAFEI activities in the Japanese language) are regularly published. In addition,
UNAFEI has published “Criminal Legislation of Japan” (1993) and “The History of 100
International Training and Seminar Courses at UNAFEI” (1995) in commemoration of
the 100th UNAFEI International Training Course.
Regarding its activities, UNAFEI has collaborated with ACPF in all its World
Conferences and Working Group Meetings. Moreover, faculty members were dispatched
to Manila to assist in the establishment of the first halfway house in the Philippines, aswell as to Papua New Guinea and Thailand to help develop the projects of ACPF
Headquarters to foster volunteer leaders. He further elaborated on the follow-up
activities conducted by the UNAFEI faculty by visiting the countries of former
participants.
Reporting on the finances, the Director explained the vital role played by the Ministryof Justice and JICA , as well as the supportive role of ACPF.
On goals and prospects for the future, the Director said that future work would include
efforts to implement research projects. While serving as a clearinghouse for information
on crime prevention and criminal justice administration in the region, UNAFEI would
also continue to conduct comparative research focusing attention on the current situation,
problems and countermeasures. UNAFEI is in the process of updating the library andthe information services including the provision of necessary information on the internet.
Regarding staff intensification, the Director emphasized the desirability of having
professors from the police on the UNAFEI faculty. This is for the prevention of various
types of crime and their control by the United Nations Crime Prevention and Criminal
Justice Programme.

RESOURCE MATERIAL SERIES No. 53
The most encouraging part of the Director’s report was his announcement of the
opening of a UNAFEI branch in the city of Osaka by 1999. This would considerablyenhance the UNAFEI programmes. The Director concluded his report by assuring that
UNAFEI will continue to maintain its direction on a practice-oriented and problemsolving approach to benefit the participating countries in crime prevention and criminal
justice administration.
GENERAL DISCUSSIONS
Chairman Minoru Shikita thereafter invited comments and suggestions from theparticipants of the Ad Hoc Committee.
Mr. Thomas G.P. Garner, International Director, ACPF, commended the very valuable
work done by UNAFEI in helping to shape the criminal justice system in this part of
the world. He said the UNAFEI “Resource Material Series” and the “Newsletter” arevery valuable publications for information. Mr. Garner praised the supportive role playedby the JICA and ACPF in the activities of UNAFEI. He recommended the inclusion ofpolice personnel as faculty members of UNAFEI.
Mr. Wang Lixian, the representative from the People’s Republic of China, said theparticipants from his country who attended seminars and training courses at UNAFEI
have benefitted immensely from the training. He also thanked UNAFEI for the special
attention paid to his country by organizing special seminars. Mr. Wang Lixian madethe following suggestions: a) more senior officers at a policy-making level to participate
at seminars and the dissemination of the outcome of the seminars; and b)internationalization of the UNAFEI staff by increasing the involvement of visiting
experts. He also proposed the preparation of a list of experts from among UNAFEI
alumni and the establishment of a permanent Advisory Committee that would replace
this Ad Hoc Committee.
Mr. Kanit Nanakorn, the former Attorney General from Thailand, said that Thailand
has the largest number of UNAFEI Alumni—numbering over 130. These officers now
have assumed high-ranking positions in the country, and with the training given them,
UNAFEI has made a direct and substantial contribution to the administration of Thaicriminal justice. He made the following suggestions for the further development of
UNAFEI activities: a) UNAFEI should arrange more international training courses
and seminars in order to keep up with the current demands; and b) UNAFEI should
expand its regional activities, and for this purpose the Institute should invite capable
researchers from countries in the region.
Dato’ Ismail B. Che Rus, Commissioner of Police from Malaysia, thanked UNAFEI
and JICA for the opportunities granted in the past to Malaysian criminal justice officials
to participate in the training courses and seminar. He said that UNAFEI alumni are
active in Malaysia and are working on many projects with the Malaysian Crime
Prevention Foundation. Dato’ Ismail B. Che Rus made the following suggestions forconsideration in the criminal justice activities of UNAFEI: a) to grant opportunities to
non-governmental organizations to participate in UNAFEI programmes; and b) JICA
should suggest to governments to select participants from well-established training390

ON UNAFEI WORK PROGRAMMES AND DIRECTIONS
institutes as they will be in a better position to impart knowledge to others. He further
suggested that participants attending UNAFEI training programmes should be
encouraged to acquaint themselves with other areas of the criminal justice system. He
suggested that police officers should also be included in the faculty of UNAFEI.
Professor Koichi Miyazawa of Chuo University stated that his interest in the work of
UNAFEI started when he first visited the Institute. Professor Suzuki was then the
director, and he was a visiting lecturer. He observed that the frequent transfer of faculty
members of UNAFEI is a disadvantage to the participants as they cannot maintainlong lasting contact with them. There was the possibility of providing the services of aprofessor from his university (Chuo University) if necessary. UNAFEI and universities
should cooperate with each other. Professor Miyazawa stressed the need to improve
the library and made a promise to donate his personal library to UNAFEI upon his
demise.
Professor Koya Matsuo of Jochi University stated that he endorsed the proposal of
the Chinese representative on the internationalization of UNAFEI. He said UNAFEI
is well known internationally, but it was necessary to make it well known in Japan aswell. To achieve this goal, he suggested visits by university professors to UNAFEI andthe sending of UNAFEI publications to universities.
Mr. Masaharu Hino, Superintending Prosecutor of the Nagoya High Public
Prosecutors Office, commented on the Osaka branch of UNAFEI. Osaka is the second
largest city in Japan, and the city planners welcome international activities. A large
portion of the new prosecution service building will be set aside for UNAFEI.
Mr. Han Youngsuk, Vice-Chairman of the Korean Crime Prevention Foundation, said
that UNAFEI alumni consist of 95 members who have distinguished themselves intheir respective fields. In his suggestion, he said that the training courses and seminars
must be arranged more flexibly to meet the urgent need to explore ways and means tocope with new kinds of crime. Three areas to be considered are: a) the protection of thepayment of cyber cash or electronic cash from forgery and abuse; b) a legal framework
to protect the electronic information from destruction by hackers along with protection
from piracy; and c) a new mode of judicial cooperation in the international society quite
different from the traditional one. He further suggested that UNAFEI become aninternational clearinghouse for information on the prevention of crime and criminal
justice. Lastly, he suggested joint seminars on a multinational basis.
Dr. B.N. Chattoraj, the distinguished expert from India, while highly appreciating
the substantial contribution made by UNAFEI during the last 36 years, made thefollowing suggestions: a) creating a small section for research work; b) appointing a
Research Advisory Committee; c) developing and upgrading the UNAFEI library, andfor this purpose appointing a Library Development Committee and publishing a quarterly
or bi-annual pamphlet on the progress of the library; d) identifying of crime prevention
and justice institutes in different countries and keeping close contact with them inorder to exchange information (UNAFEI is to act as a clearinghouse for this information);and e) for UNAFEI to consider publishing a journal that includes articles on various
developments in the field of criminal justice. Mr. Chattoraj also supported the idea ofincluding police officers in the UNAFEI faculty.
391

RESOURCE MATERIAL SERIES No. 53
Mr. Ved Kshetri, Public Service Commissioner from Nepal, suggested considering
more UNAFEI joint seminars for the benefit of training lawyer members. With theestablishment of ACPF branches in many countries, their assistance could be obtained
to conduct these joint seminars.
Ms. Nazhat Shameem, the Director of Public Prosecution from Fiji, suggested that
UNAFEI should play a more proactive role in the selection of participants. She also
proposed to UNAFEI the inclusion of United Nations human rights instruments in its
day-to-day work and assist in keeping an updated knowledge on law reform initiatives
in other countries of the region.
Mr. Chronox D. Manek, Deputy Public Prosecutor from Papua New Guinea, suggested
the inclusion of NGOs in the UNAFEI programmes in order to increase community
awareness.
Mr. Severino Gaña, Jr., Senior State Prosecutor from the Philippines, suggested the
expanding of UNAFEI activities to challenging areas and increasing the numbers of
training programmes.
Professor Yoshio Suzuki, a former Director of UNAFEI, said that sufficient data was
not available for research, and UNAFEI should obtain the necessary information fromother countries through alumni associations and ACPF.
Mr. H.G. Dharmadasa, retired Commissioner of Prisons in Sri Lanka, mentioned the
difficulties in collecting the necessary information for research, as experienced by
UNAFEI when researching the implementation of the United Nations Standard
Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Offenders.
Mr. Hiroyasu Sugihara, a former Director of UNAFEI, also confirmed this problem
faced by UNAFEI.
Dr. S. Chandra Mohan from Singapore suggested that some positions on the UNAFEI
faculty be offered to other governments. He also said UNAFEI should consider publishing
information on law reform in other countries.
Mr. Thomas G.P. Garner suggested that UNAFEI’s financial constraints could be eased
if the represented nations and UNAFEI alternately paid for the sponsorship of aparticipant.
Mr. Kunihiro Horiuchi, a former Director of UNAFEI, suggested that richer Asian
countries could contribute to the work of UNAFEI by sending some staff members attheir own cost and bearing the expenses of their country’s participants.
Mr. Shinichi Tsuchiya, an observer of the meeting and a former Deputy Director of
UNAFEI, stressed the importance of comparative research and suggested conducting aseminar on this topic. He also said that training programmes on combatting computer
crime should be included.

392

THE NINTH MEETING OF THE AD HOC ADVISORY COMMITTEE OF EXPERTS
ON UNAFEI WORK PROGRAMMES AND DIRECTIONS
Mr. Kiyoshi Isaka, Managing Director of JICA, said that it was important to make anassessment on the effects of UNAFEI’s 35 years of work. He also suggested that somerich countries could assist in the work of UNAFEI.
CONCLUSION
Final comments were made by Director Fujiwara of UNAFEI in response to various
proposals made during the discussions. He said every effort will be made to improve
the work of UNAFEI, giving consideration to the suggestions made at the meeting.
Some proposals have already been implemented, while others need time. The Director
appreciated the high valuation of the integrated approach. Though sometimes training
is focused on narrow fields such as prosecution, the general approach is an integrated
one. He agreed that topics such as legislation reform, research and human rights must
be incorporated further into UNAFEI training programmes.
On the inclusion of NGOs in the training programmes, there were no restrictions as
far as UNAFEI was concerned, but the financial assistance for their participation
depended on the policies of JICA.
The Director admitted that the research activity at UNAFEI is relatively weak due
to the limited staff and their involvement in the main activity of training. Nevertheless,much attention is paid to this area and cooperation from outside experts such as UNAFEI
alumni is necessary. He also said that UNAFEI will develop close contact with
universities.
Regarding the composition and the internationalization of the UNAFEI staff, theDirector said that UNAFEI would continue to invite as many visiting experts as possible
from various regions of the world. Internationalization needs much effort. UNAFEI
will try to make its staff visit and study in foreign countries. Some developed nations
like Singapore may offer the services of a faculty member and such help would be greatly
appreciated. The Director stated further that the necessity of the inclusion of police
officers in the UNAFEI faculty was mentioned in his report. He expressed hope thatwhen the Osaka branch of UNAFEI is established in 1999, police officers would be
included in the faculty.
He wanted very much to increase the training programmes according to emerging
needs such as victimology, human rights and organized crime. However, the restraining
factors are the limited staff and other facilities.
The Director also admitted that the library needs improvement. He thanked Professor
Miyazawa for the intended donation of his personal library to UNAFEI. He requested
participants and alumni to assist in the development of the library by sending relevantpublications from their own countries.
The Director observed that the effect of training provided by UNAFEI has not been
fully researched and evaluated. However, he expressed that the results of UNAFEI
training programmes are well reflected by the achievements of its alumni in the soundimprovement of criminal justice systems and practices in their respective countries.

For example, the development of community policing in the region such as theintroduction of the “Police Box” in Singapore has been influenced by the teachings at
UNAFEI. As another example, a halfway house has been established in the Philippines
by ACPF Nagoya Branch with the cooperation of UNAFEI.
The Director concluded by assuring the members of the committee that every effort
will be made to improve the training at UNAFEI.
Mr. Garner—who had earlier taken the chair at the invitation of Mr. Shikita—
