From 10 to 12 March 2026, the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI), in partnership with the Namibian Correctional Service, organised a three-day workshop in Windhoek to pilot and validate a Virtual Reality (VR) rehabilitation tool designed to support offender rehabilitation in correctional settings.

Strengthening expertise on crime, justice and security

The United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) are launching the second edition of the Crime, Justice and Security Training Programme for Police Advisors and Diplomatic Personnel.

The Western Balkans strengthened their capacity to address CBRN crimes through a courtroom-based Mock Trial involving Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro and North Macedonia, enhancing preparedness, cooperation and effective judicial responses to complex CBRN risks. The training programme is fully funded by the European Union through the EU CBRN Centres of Excellence Initiative.
