KEY HANDBOOKS & REFERENCE MANUALS
During the past years, the use of UNODC tools has led to enhanced judicial cooperation.
The number of competent national authorities (CNA) designated by Member States has expanded.
On the other hand, the Directory of CNAs under the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and the Protocols thereto, as well as articles 6, 7 and 17 of the United Nations Convention against Illicit Traffic in Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances of 1988 now contains contact information of 478 CNAs from 168 Member States and the Secretariat has recorded over 500 registered users of the online directory.
In addition, the Mutual Legal Assistance Request Writer Tool was developed by UNODC to assist States in drafting mutual legal assistance requests to facilitate and strengthen international cooperation. This tool guides the casework practitioner through the request process, prompting the drafter if essential information has been omitted. The tool generates a complete request for final editing and signing.
