its activities in order to promote sound development of
criminal justice systems and mutual cooperation amongst
the UN member states. Its activities are fully funded by
the Government of Japan, and are highly valued as Japan's
important contributions to the international community.

personal and inter-agency network among criminal justice practitioners
around the world.
Over the past 50 years, more than 5,700 criminal justice practitioners from 138 countries/regions have participated in
UNAFEI's training courses/seminars. Many UNAFEI alumni members are playing leading roles in the area of criminal

participants and ex-visiting experts to provide up-to-date information about UNAFEI's activities.
