The New Millenium: UNICRI in Turin

On 1 May 2000, UNICRI moved to its new headquarters in Turin, Northern Italy, within the Campus which also hosts the International Training Centre of the International Labour Organization (ILO/ITC) and the United Nations System Staff College (UNSSC).

The hectic beginning of the millennium, poses new challenges to the international community. UNICRI endeavours to answer the trial and provide innovative solutions to major - new and old - problems of criminal policy, such as security (including prevention of terrorism), trafficking of persons and reduction in slavery, construction of justice systems in conflict and post-conflict areas.

Most UNICRI's projects include analytical and operational components and are usually carried out in collaboration with other international organizations and specialized non-governmental organizations.

Thank you very much for the good job you are doing. providing training for the UN system, but also training for multilateralism and training for the world! All the very best to the faculty, staff and friends of the UN!

This is a knowledge house. You are providing the groundwork and you are cultivating yourself, your career, to be able to contribute more wherever you may be assigned. In this regard I think that you are providing the basic element, core principles which I am now promoting.
