Reflections from the 34th Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Side Event at UNOV

Last month PPI’s United Nations Office at Vienna main representative Kay Schroeder attended a side event co-hosted by Interpol and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime during the 34th Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice. The event focused on the use of neurotechnologies in criminal justice. PPI is closely monitoring these conversations out of our concern that overzealous institutions will use these technologies to infringe on civil liberties. Neurotechnology includes everything from functional MRI scanners to brain stimulation devices. And the scary thing is that law enforcement have been adopting these technologies. While these capabilities promise new avenues for crime prevention, they also raise profound questions about …

Why is UNOV important for PPI?

Over almost a decade of UN activities, we have consistently attended events at the UN Headquarters in New York and the office in Geneva. Around 2019 we sent a few delegates to Vienna, but COVID ended most of our activities. This year we are making a new emphasis to network and lobby at UNOV, because a lot of very important global policies that are important to our movement are decided there. The important issues include crime, drugs, trade, outer space, and nukes. Over this past Easter holiday the chair of PPI, Keith Goldstein, met with the Pirate Party of Austria members, including the PPI main representative at UNOV, Kay Schroeder. …
