THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Articles 82(1), 83(1) and 84, in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

| (1) | The 14th United Nations (UN) Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice will be held in Kyoto, Japan, from 7 to 12 March 2021 (the ‘Congress’). The main output of the Congress will be the Kyoto Declaration on Advancing Crime Prevention, Criminal Justice and the Rule of Law: towards the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (the ‘Kyoto Declaration’). The Kyoto Declaration is to be adopted at the Congress. |

(1)

The 14th United Nations (UN) Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice will be held in Kyoto, Japan, from 7 to 12 March 2021 (the ‘Congress’). The main output of the Congress will be the Kyoto Declaration on Advancing Crime Prevention, Criminal Justice and the Rule of Law: towards the achievement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (the ‘Kyoto Declaration’). The Kyoto Declaration is to be adopted at the Congress.

| (2) | The Kyoto Declaration sets out the framework of the UN’s crime prevention and criminal justice policy for the next five years. It refers to the link between development on the one hand and the rule of law and the need for effective anti-corruption efforts on the other hand, to the importance of advancing crime prevention, including evidence-based crime prevention, to advancing criminal justice systems, and to intensifying international cooperation and technical assistance to prevent and address all forms of crime, including terrorism and emerging forms of crime such as those that have an impact on the environment. |

| (3) | The Union has been a leading partner of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and is funding several initiatives to prevent and combat crime, such as the launch of the Counter Terrorism Learning Platform in April 2020. On a broader scale, the operational partnership between the Union and the UNODC has been consolidated throughout the years in the funding of different projects. |

| (5) | Articles 82(1) and 83(1) TFEU therefore constitute the legal basis for further action to be taken by the Union and its Member States so as to follow up on the Congress, respecting the commitment that has been made with the Doha Declaration and which is to be reiterated with the Kyoto Declaration, in line with Resolution 72/192 of the UN General Assembly. |

| (7) | The Union and its Member States aim to be leading actors in the international fight against crime. The urgent need to tackle cross-border crimes has become more evident during the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has been exploited by criminals and organised crime groups across the world, showing how coordination and cooperation, both in prevention and justice, are of the utmost importance. |

| (8) | Current challenges in terms of crime prevention and criminal justice pose risks for the internal security of the Union, but their scope extends far beyond the Union. The position to be adopted in Kyoto and the outcome thereof will constitute a unique opportunity for the Union and its Member States to enhance their policies, so as to better collaborate at international level, leading the advancement of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. |
