Doha Declaration underlines need for strengthening criminal justice system

By TIOL News Service

DOHA, APR 19, 2015 : AT the 13th Crime Congress in Doha, policymakers and experts from around the world met up with the UN, inter-governmental and non-governmental organizations to chart a new course for crime prevention and rule of law in support of sustainable development.

Executive Director of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Yury Fedotov, told the UN News Centre in an interview ahead of the Crime Congress that the rule of law, better criminal justice systems, access to justice, well-functioning law enforcement and prosecution authorities could be enablers for development.

The Crime Congress takes place once every five years several months ahead of a major summit on the future global development agenda, and is scheduled to take place at UN Headquarters in September.

The Congress adopted the 'Doha Declaration', a political document emphasizing important aspects of fighting transnational organized crime and strengthening criminal justice systems and crime prevention. The forum took up various forms of crime "affecting the ability of millions of people around the world to realize a life of prosperity and dignity". Some of the issues discussed were: rise in wildlife crime, illegal trade in antiquities, prison overcrowding, match-fixing in sport, human trafficking and cyber-crime.

Eradicating discrimination, fighting inequalities between social groups, and ensuring that ‘no one is left behind' are urgent priorities in order to secure peaceful and stable societies and true social development. The UN is working with Governments to promote non-discriminatory laws and human rights for all.
