United Nations Crime Prevention and Criminal
Justice Programme Network (PNI)

The Secretariat of the United Nations, in cooperation with the Member States,
established a network of institutes to assist the international community instrengthening international cooperation in the crucial area of crime prevention andcriminal justice at the global, regional and subregional levels. The network provides avariety of services on request, including the exchange of information, research,training and specialized education.
Since the creation of the oldest Institute in 1962 in Tokyo, Japan, the United Nations
Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Programme Network (PNI) has grown in
number. It presently consists of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime-1-

(UNODC) and several interregional and regional institutes and specialized centres.
Institutes are affiliated to the PNI in accordance with ECOSOC approved criteria.
The major activities of the institutes include the organization of joint events andmeetings. The role of the PNI in preparing the quinquennial UN Crime Congresses
has grown in significance over the years. PNI Members, both individually and incollaboration, organize workshops and regional preparatory meetings for theCongress.
Some twenty workshops have been convened in connection with the last fiveCongresses. The subjects of the workshops have focused on specific areas within thesubstantive agenda of the Congresses. These subjects allow experts to participate in
the proceedings and to network with colleagues from all over the world. This has been
regarded as one major advantage of the workshops. The Institutes often publish theWorkshop proceedings, thus permitting persons who are unable to attend to benefit
from them.
The PNI institutes are involved in preparations for the Crime Congresses and thesessions of the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice. The PNI plans
substantive workshops that take place during the Crime Congress in full cooperation
with, and coordination by, the Crime Commission, the UN Secretariat and Member
States.
The Programme Network also organizes practical workshops and events in support of
the work of the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice during its
annual sessions. These activities fulfil the mandates given to the Institutes by theCommission to provide technical assistance to Member States on request on relevant
issues of the Programme. Workshop topics relate to the thematic debate of theCommission. The areas covered have dealt with prison issues, criminal justice reform,
trafficking in human beings and the promotion of the rule of law.
Other joint efforts related to the UN crime programme include contributions to theinformation gathering instruments regarding the implementation of UN standards andnorms, as well as participation in various crime and justice survey activities.
