Mission and objectives
UNICRI is a United Nations entity established in 1968 and mandate to assist intergovernmental, governmental and non-governmental organizations in formulating and implementing improved policies in the field of crime prevention and criminal justice. The Institute strongly emphasizes action-oriented analysis and integrated technical assistance. The current priorities are justice reform, financial and emerging crimes and security governance. Within the framework of the European Union (EU) Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Risk Mitigation Centers of Excellence (CoE) initiative UNICRI will deliver the CBRN Criminalization workshop in close coordination with relevant international organizations mandated to address this area. The workshop will help to identify the gaps, needs, and priorities to criminalize CBRN-related crimes as part of national obligations related to the pertinent international conventions and legal frameworks. Participants will learn about international legal instruments and conventions governing this area, legislation, criminalization and classification. Model national laws and the mandates of international organizations that may provide legislative support will be examined. State compliance with its criminalization obligations under the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC), the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC), the Convention on the Physical Protection of Nuclear Material (CPPNM) and the International Convention for the Suppression of Acts of Nuclear Terrorism (ICSANT) and other relevant international instruments will be incorpFinaorated as a part of this workshop.
Context
The deliverables produced by the volunteers will be part of the EU CBRN CoE and UNICRI’s Workshop on CBRN Criminalization. The workshop will be a part of the capacity building and training package aimed to provide prosecutors, investigators, law enforcement, and judicial authorities with guidance to support the successful investigation, prosecution, and adjudication of incidents involving the deliberate acquisition, stockpiling, production, transfer, use, or misuse of CBRN materials. The expected start date of the collaboration is 15 March 2024.
