UN Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice

The UN Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice is a quinquennial intergovernmental forum convened under the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC). It sets global standards on criminal justice reform, extradition, cybercrime, prison management, and cooperation against transnational organised crime. Congress declarations and model treaties feed into member states' domestic legislation and law-enforcement cooperation frameworks, including India's obligations under UNTOC and UNCAC.
