UNODC works with Member States to strengthen the rule of law, promote stable and viable criminal justice systems and combat the growing threats of transnational organized crime and corruption. UNODC bases its work on the three pillars of research and analytical work, normative work to assist States in the ratification and implementation of international treaties, and the development of domestic legislation on drugs, crime and terrorism, and field-based technical cooperation projects.
In the area of violence prevention and response, UNODC works together with other United Nations entities to provide the evidence needed to design effective violence prevention and reduction initiatives. UNODC recognizes, in particular, the value multi-sectoral cooperation and an evidence-based approach to targeting the risk factors that lead to violence.
