The demand for knowledge and expertise to address the issues of security and crime prevention in cities is vast. And yet, so is the experience and the results that have been achieved by local authorities and their citizens.
The Ministry of Justice of Italy and the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) on 25 March 2024 signed a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to further their shared goals and objectives regarding the design and implementation of research and technical cooperation programmes in the field of crime prevention and criminal justice.
Ms. Antonia Marie De Meo, Director of UNICRI, and Mr. Albrecht Freiherr von Böselager, Grand Chancellor and Foreign Minister of the Sovereign Order of Malta, signed an agreement between the two organizations to strengthen cooperation in the field of crime prevention and international justice.
This agreement lays the foundation for the design and implementation of training programmes in the field of crime prevention and criminal justice as well as for joint activities to respond to crises and emergences.
The identification of common practices and standards to protect tourism security is a key aspect to harmonize policies for the protection of vulnerable targets and crowded spaces.
The main focus of the project was the development of practices to ensure crime and terrorism prevention through an innovative and holistic approach, involving different public agencies and the private sectors, in line with the GCTF Antalya Memorandum and the SC Resolution 2396.
In recent times, the phenomenon of “foreign terrorist fighters” (FTFs) has expanded worldwide, especially in connection with the ongoing conflicts in Syria and Iraq. Although accurate and reliable data on FTFs are difficult to obtain, estimates suggest that more than 40.000 individuals have travelled from more than 100 countries in the world to join this conflict.
The increased number of returning FTFs, along with the increased frequency of terrorist acts worldwide, represents a challenge for international and national security.
