The Tenth Congress adopted by acclamation the Vienna Declaration on Crime and Justice in which Member States pledged to take resolute and speedy measures to combat terrorism, trafficking in human beings, illicit trade in firearms, smuggling of migrants and money-laundering. The Declaration further committed States to take enhanced international action against corruption, stressing the need for a new international legal instrument, in addition to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime.
UNICRI, together with the regional and associated institutes (PNI), helped to organize the workshops thus continuing to assist the international community in strengthening cooperation in the area of crime prevention and criminal justice.
