UNICRI’s Pledge on the 75th Anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 

For 75 years, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights has been the cornerstone of modern international law and human rights protection around the globe.
The United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI), based in Italy, is mandated to improve crime prevention and criminal justice and to protect human rights. Human rights are indispensable to preventing crime and promoting justice, peace, security, and the rule of law; human rights are at the core of all of UNICRI’s action-oriented research, training, and capacity-building. Moreover, UNICRI’s unique focus on niche, emerging, and sensitive areas of crime and justice help to inform the future of human rights protection.
