Mission and objectives

UNICRI is a United Nations entity established in 1968 and mandate to assist intergovernmental, governmental and non-governmental organizations in formulating and implementing improved policies in the field of crime prevention and criminal justice. The Institute strongly emphasizes action-oriented analysis and integrated technical assistance. The current priorities are justice reform, financial and emerging crimes and security governance. UNICRI, as part of the European Union’s (EU) CBRN Risk Mitigation Centres of Excellence (CoE) Initiative, has leveraged the expertise outlined in the Prosecutors Guide on Chemical and Biological (CB) Crimes and the Prosecutors Guide on Radiological and Nuclear (RN) Crimes to craft a comprehensive capacity-building and training package. This initiative is designed to enhance investigative, prosecutorial, and adjudicative capabilities within the realm of CBRN crimes.

Context

The deliverables produced by the volunteers will be part of the EU CBRN CoE and UNICRI’s Workshop. The workshop will be a part of the capacity building and training package aimed to provide prosecutors, investigators, law enforcement, and judicial authorities with guidance to support the successful investigation, prosecution, and adjudication of incidents involving the deliberate acquisition, stockpiling, production, transfer, use, or misuse of CBRN materials. The expected start date of the collaboration is 2 December 2024

Task Description

We are seeking Online Volunteers to help with the Creation of training materials for the workshop on the Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear crimes, based on the relevant international conventions and legal instruments.
