UNODC
Service Areas
Organized
crime and trafficking
- UNODC helps Governments react to the instability and insecurity caused by
crimes like the smuggling of illicit drugs, weapons, natural resources,
counterfeit goods and human beings between countries and continents. It is also
addressing emerging forms of crime, such as cybercrime, trafficking in cultural
artefacts and environmental crime.
Corruption - Corruption is a
major impediment to economic and social development, UNODC partners with the
public and private sectors, as well as civil society, to loosen the grip that
corrupt individuals have on government, national borders and trading channels.
In recent years, the Office has stepped up its efforts to help States recover
assets stolen by corrupt officials.
Crime
prevention and criminal justice reform UNODC promotes the use of training manuals
and the adoption of codes of conduct and standards and norms that aim to
guarantee that the accused, the guilty and the victims can all rely on a
criminal justice system that is fair and grounded on human rights values. A
strong rule of law will also instill confidence among citizens in the
effectiveness of the courts and the humanness of the prisons.
Drug
abuse prevention and health Through educational campaigns and by basing its approach
on scientific findings, UNODC tries to convince youth not to use illicit drugs,
drug-dependent people to seek treatment and Governments to see drug use as a
health problem, not a crime.
Terrorism
prevention
On this issue, UNODC is moving towards a more programmatic approach that
involves developing long-term, customized assistance to entities involved in
investigating and adjudicating cases linked to terrorism.
