From 19 to 23 May 2025, representatives of UN member states, international organizations and civil society will gather in Vienna – and in virtual events – for the annual UN Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (CCPCJ), hosted by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), and chaired this year by the Permanent Representative of Mexico to the UN in Vienna.

The Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime (GI-TOC) will be present and be active at the CCPCJ throughout and will participate in the following events during the week, to highlight our latest research and activities related to enhancing understanding of issues on the agenda at this year’s CCPCJ, including crime prevention and community resilience, crimes that affect the environment, organized fraud operations, youth criminality, human trafficking and other challenges. We will also be contributing with recommendations to enhance the effectiveness of policy responses, for better impacts on communities and societies around the world.
