From the Director

In 2003, the projects of HEUNI primarily focused on four themes:violence against women, the United Nations Surveys on CrimeTrends and Operations of Criminal Justice Systems, trafficking inhuman beings, and the use and application of the United Nationsstandards and norms.

The year saw activities in research, training, information dissemi-nation and technical assistance. The research project on prisons inCentral and Eastern Europe was completed, and a paper on traf-ficking in human beings in Europe published. Also, the HEUNIcountry profile (Criminal Justice Systems in Europe and NorthAmerica) series grew by three volumes. Furthermore, HEUNIacted as a co-publisher in a second book on cross-border crime(the first volume came out in 2002)

HEUNI has continued to pay particular attention to further pro-moting co-operation between the United Nations Crime Preven-tion and Criminal Justice Programme, the Council of Europe, theEuropean Union, and other entities in the field in Europe. Exam-ples of such activities range from participation in a Council of Eu-rope expert group on organised crime and other Council of Europeactivities to being co-organiser of the third annual Conference ofthe European Society of Criminology in Helsinki, Finland. Fur-thermore, a particular Nordic dimension has flavoured the work ofHEUNI in 2001-2003, as 2003 was the third and last year that Ichaired the Scandinavian Research Council for Criminology, aco-operation organ of the Nordic Ministries of Justice.

All HEUNI staff members wish to express their warmest gratitudeto the HEUNI consultants, and to our partners in co-operationthroughout Europe and North America.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1. THE UNITED NATIONS CRIME PREVENTIONAND CRIMINAL JUSTICE PROGRAMME

In accordance with Article 55 of the United Nations Charter, oneof the main functions of the United Nations is to lay the basis forstability and well-being in the world. For this reason the UnitedNations is specifically charged with the promotion of, inter alia,

• higher standards of living, full employment and conditions ofeconomic and social progress and development;

• solutions to international economic, social, health and relatedproblems and international cultural and educationalcooperation; and

• universal respect for, and observance of, human rights andfundamental freedom for all without distinction as to race,sex, language or religion.

The problems of crime and criminal justice cut across all of theseareas. Within the United Nations system, the primary responsibil-ity for these issues lies with the Economic and Social Council(ECOSOC). Within the Secretariat, they constitute the mandate ofthe United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) CrimeProgramme (until October 2000 the United Nations Centre for In-ternational Crime Prevention, CICP), although specific issues arealso covered, inter alia, by the Centre for Human Rights and theUnited Nations International Drug Control Programme.

The policy is formulated by the United Nations Commission onCrime Prevention and Criminal Justice, which is a functional com-mission of ECOSOC. The Commission was established by Gen-eral Assembly resolution 46/152 of 18 December 1991 as part of amajor restructuring of the United Nations Crime Prevention andCriminal Justice Programme. It consists of 40 Member States, andmeets once a year.

1.2. THE FUNCTIONS OF HEUNI

The European Institute for Crime Prevention and Control, affili-ated with the United Nations (HEUNI) is the regional Europeanlink in the network of institutes operating within the framework ofthe United Nations Crime Prevention and Criminal JusticeProgramme. HEUNI was established through an Agreement be-tween the United Nations and the Government of Finland signedon 23 December 1981 and extended on 14 April 1987.

The primary objective of HEUNI is to promote the internationalexchange of information on crime prevention and control amongEuropean countries. The frame of reference is given by the UnitedNations Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Programme, asdetermined by the United Nations Commission on Crime Preven-tion and Criminal Justice, although mandates are also received di-rectly from the countries serviced by HEUNI.

HEUNI carries out a range of activities. The most important ofthese are:• the organization of seminars and expert group meetings on

crime and criminal justice issues of relevance to theEuropean countries,

• assistance in the provision of technical assistance on request,• the conducting of research, and• the collection and dissemination of information on matters

falling within its competence.

In carrying out its main functions, HEUNI has organized a numberof major seminars as well as smaller expert meetings on specificthemes. The technical assistance projects involve, for example, theprovision of expertise or the organization of training. HEUNI’s re-search projects are carried out either independently or in coopera-tion with other institutions and individual researchers.

The topics of the seminars, the meetings of experts and the re-search projects are selected on the basis of two primary criteria, (1)the United Nations Crime Prevention and Criminal JusticeProgramme and (2) the issues of priority for the European region.HEUNI has given considerable attention to the needs of the coun-tries in Central and Eastern Europe.

HEUNI has also assisted the United Nations Secretariat in thedrafting of various documents for submission to the policy-mak-ing bodies of the United Nations, including the Commission andthe quinquennial United Nations Congresses on Crime Preventionand Criminal Justice. Similarly, HEUNI has been active behindthe scenes in developing the United Nations structure for interna-tional cooperation, and in assisting the Commission with its work.

In the collection and dissemination of information, HEUNI seeksto serve as a clearing house in identifying, for interested govern-ments, institutions and individual experts, sources of informationon recent developments in crime, criminal justice and criminalpolicy throughout Europe. HEUNI is connected with institutes,government agencies and experts around the world, inter alia,through the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime web site(www.unodc.org/unodc/crime_cicp_uncjin_institutes.html) orthrough the HEUNI web site (www.heuni.fi/12589.htm).

1.3. ORGANIZATION AND FINANCING

The availablereports cover Albania, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech Repub-lic, England and Wales, Finland, France, Greece, Ireland, Israel,Italy, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Romania, Scotland, Spain andSweden. Reports on, inter alia, Armenia and Slovenia are underpreparation.

The second series, “HEUNI Publication Series”, contains the re-ports of HEUNI projects and contributions from European expertsin the field. The publications in this second series are primarily inEnglish, which is the working language of HEUNI. However, pa-pers which were presented in French or Russian are published intheir original language. Some of the publications include Frenchand Russian summaries.

Three publications appeared in this series in 2003. Five volumesare estimated to be produced during 2004.

The third series, “HEUNI Papers”, includes occasional shorter pa-pers deserving of wider dissemination. Two papers were pub-lished in this series in 2003. The plans call for the publication offour papers during 2004. The titles published in the three series ofthe Institute are listed in an annex to this annual report.

Furthermore, HEUNI has occasionally participated in the publica-tion of books in cooperation with other partners.
