The General Counsel is very pleased to be at the UN Headquarters in Vienna this week, joining colleagues from around the world for the 12th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organised Crime. The Conference was established to improve the capacity of States Parties to combat transnational organised crime and to promote and review the implementation of the Convention. She was delighted to make an intervention in the plenary hall today on behalf of the International Association of Prosecutors on international cooperation, in which she encouraged States to make the fullest use possible of the UNTOC and also identified some of the challenges to its operation and possible mitigations.

Tomorrow, I will be giving some opening remarks at the panel “Rising organized criminality in the Pacific islands – What drives it?” where we will discuss how the criminal landscape in the Pacific is changing rapidly. As the growing presence of foreign criminal and private sector actors drives the emergence of new criminal markets and deepens existing ones, how can local authorities tackle the situation? Panelists Laura Adal, Peter Aitsi MBE, Virginia Comolli, and Dr Tamasailau (Sailau) Suaalii-Sauni, will lead the conversation.

⚖️ The principle of universal jurisdiction empowers national prosecutors to bring perpetrators of serious crimes to justice, breaking through barriers where other efforts have failed. 🌍 In the context of the Global Initiative Against Impunity, we aim to enhance cooperation with EU actors in the coming years to support the effective advancement of universal jurisdiction practices: https://lnkd.in/dQsdgPtT 🤝 Our aim: Strengthening legal frameworks and bolstering investigative and prosecutorial capacities are essential to ensuring that there is no safe haven for those who commit genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity.

The world deserves action! However, it is not primarily the UNs fault that nothing happens, pointing at the UN is like shooting the messenger..... Mankind meanwhile created a world that is growing/falling apart, in which the UN just reflects our divergence and has become dysfunctional because of a lack of universal support. Humanity has to urgently grow together again as equals in order to address the problems all of us face such as conflict, climate-change, inequality and forced migration..... collectively, in solidarity. www.pax.ngo & www.convergence.ngo

Today, July 17th, marks World Day for International Justice - a day to raise awareness and support for the international criminal justice system. This annual observance commemorates the adoption of the Rome Statute, which established the International Criminal Court in 1998. The ICC plays a crucial role in prosecuting the most serious crimes, including crimes against humanity, genocide, and war crimes. As global citizens, we must continue to champion the principles of international justice and human rights. At BMInvestigations we aim to uphold the highest standards of integrity and service at all times. #WorldDayForInternationalJustice #InternationalCriminalJustice #HumanRights #GlobalCitizenship

Operation Black Tie has unveiled the shocking overlap between Bosnia and Herzegovina's 🇧🇦 upperworld and underworld. Following the decryption of the Sky ECC app, authorities have exposed the operations of the Tito and Dino cartel, led by Edin Gačanin, who is dubbed the 'European Escobar.' This operation highlighted the cartel's extensive reach into business, politics, and the security sector, revealing how organized crime has infiltrated and influenced state institutions. The findings emphasize the urgent need for stronger anti-corruption measures, better monitoring of political funding, and increased vigilance within public institutions to combat the harmful influence of organized crime in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The International Criminal Court’s Shameful Attack on Israel - The International Criminal Court (ICC) has plunged to new depths of disgrace by issuing scandalous arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant. This brazen and baseless act is not just an insult to Israel but a direct assault on the values of democracy, justice, and truth. By targeting Israel’s leaders—individuals dedicated to defending their citizens against relentless terrorism—the ICC has exposed itself as a politicized instrument of anti-Israel bias, unfit to uphold its own mandate. Instead of pursuing genuine perpetrators of atrocities, the ICC has chosen to slander a sovereign nation that stands as a beacon of democracy in the Middle East. This reckless decision emboldens Israel's enemies, legitimizes terrorism, and imperils Jewish communities worldwide. It is a gross miscarriage of justice and a grave threat to global stability, proving that the ICC has forsaken its credibility to champion an anti-Semitic agenda cloaked in legal pretense.... #JusticeForIsrael #RejectICCHypocrisy #StandWithIsrael #DrYvetteAltMiller #IsraelIsNotAlone #DefendDemocracy #NoToTerrorEnablers #SupportIsraeliSovereignty #FightAntiSemitism #TruthOverPropaganda #IsraelDeservesJustice #SayNoToBias #ICCFailedJustice #ProtectJewishLives #IsraelStrong #StopTerrorGlorification #JusticeNotPolitics #IsraelIsRight #GlobalSecurityMatters
