Fighting Cybercrime Is Discussed By 130 Countries

This week, the UN Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice opened its 31st session in Vienna with a focus on using digital evidences to tackle various crimes.

According to a UN statement, the commission plays a vital role both locally and internationally in enhancing crime prevention.
While several members signed the Kyoto Declaration 2021 of "Advancing crime prevention, criminal justice, and the rule of law: towards achieving the 2030 Agenda", several others signed on executing penalties after this declaration.

As the UNODC Executive Director in Vienna noted, "We are standing for all countries in order to achieve our major goal: justices and assisting victims of crime." The UN Women Executive Director made a similar statement, indicating that women's well-being and preventing crime are intrinsically linked.

Developing a justice system that works for women and is trusted by them is a precondition for combating crime. UN Women is committed to continuing to work closely with the UN Office on Drugs and Crime in support of the joint efforts of the Commission on the Status of Women and the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice", she said.

Bahous noted that a resolution under consideration would also address the follow-up to the Kyoto Declaration. By engaging in and fostering multi-stakeholder responses, including public-private partnerships, to protect children from sexual exploitation and abuse, the international legal framework will be strengthened and reoffending will be reduced through rehabilitation and reintegration.

Over 130 nations will be represented by more than 55 non-governmental organizations at the 31st session of the Commission, which will be held both virtually and in person. – KUNA
