The United Nations Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, commonly known as the "Kyoto Congress," where judicial ministers from each country discuss crime countermeasures, is scheduled to be held in Kyoto City from the 7th to the 6th.
Secretary-General Wali, the head of the UNODC (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime), which hosts the conference and is headquartered in Vienna, responded to an independent interview with NHK before coming to Japan.
Mr. Wally said that it will be the first large-scale international conference in Japan since the spread of the new coronavirus. "We will work closely with the Government of Japan and take all measures to prevent infection with the safety of participants and staff first. We have moved to a hybrid format where participants can also participate online. "
He said, "In the future, this format will become the new normal in the corona sickness," and expressed his willingness to succeed in a large-scale international conference in a new format with thorough infection control.
In addition, Secretary-General Wali said, "The spread of the new corona infection has caused new crimes worldwide, increasing the vulnerabilities and risks of society. At this conference, the international community will be united in crime countermeasures. I want to give you a message that you need to work on it. "
