Duties and Responsibilities
Article 29 (Training and Technical Assistance), paragraph 3, of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC), refers to the promotion of training and technical assistance that facilitate extradition and mutual legal assistance (MLA). Further, in its resolution 9/3 entitled Implementation of the provisions on international cooperation of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, the Conference of the Parties to the UNTOC (COP-UNTOC) endorsed, among others, the recommendations adopted by the Working Group on International Cooperation at its ninth meeting held from 28 to 31 May 2018, which are set out in annex II to the resolution. In this context, paragraphs (f) and (g) in Annex II read as follows: “(f) States parties are encouraged to make the best possible use of resources to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of central and/or other competent authorities in dealing with international cooperation requests. In doing so, States parties may wish to consider putting in place or request technical assistance, for the development of case management systems within their central authorities to monitor and better administer the increasing workload occasioned by such requests;” “(g) States and other technical assistance providers, including the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, are encouraged to incorporate measures to enhance training and technical assistance for central authorities responsible for mutual legal assistance, and competent authorities for extradition to help States parties in their implementation of the Convention.” In addition, in its resolution 12/1, the Conference of the Parties requested UNODC “in close collaboration with Member States, and subject to the availability of extrabudgetary resources, to develop a toolkit for central and other competent authorities involved in international cooperation in criminal matters, as guidance and resource material for such authorities, with a view to developing cumulative knowledge on, inter alia, the use of technology and innovative tools in the area of international cooperation, as well as for further use in capacity-building efforts” (Annex II paragraph (f)). Within this framework, the Conference Support Section (CSS), Organized Crime and Illicit Trafficking Branch (OCB), is starting a project to support States parties to UNTOC in developing and using case management systems for central and competent authorities responsible for international cooperation in criminal matters.
