Dear Members of the Alliance,

Regarding the third intersessional meeting of the Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (official invitations will be sent out soon), which will be devoted to the first round of thematic discussions on the practical implementation of the Kyoto Declaration, following up to the commitments made by Member States at the Fourteenth United Nations Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice held in Kyoto, Japan in March.

The meetings will be held from 11.00 a.m. to 2.00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 6 p.m. Vienna Time (CET) online and in Board Room D, on the 4th floor of the C-Building at the Vienna International Centre. The meeting will be held in a hybrid format, combining an in-person component with online participation.
