HEUNI

The European Institute for Crime Prevention and Control, affiliated with the United Nations (HEUNI) is the European link in the network of institutes operating within the framework of the United Nations Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Programme. HEUNI was established through an Agreement between the United Nations and the Government of Finland, signed on 23 December 1981. HEUNI is based in Helsinki, Finland.

The primary objective of HEUNI is to promote the international exchange of information on crime prevention and control among European countries. The frame of reference is given by the United Nations Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Programme, as well as the specific needs of the European countries.

HEUNI's activities include:

Organization of seminars, training courses and expert group meetings
Promotion of technical assistance
Research

HEUNI also seeks to help in identifying, for interested governments, institutions and individual experts, sources of information on recent developments in crime, criminal justice and criminal policy throughout Europe.

The administrative and budgetary responsibility for HEUNI lies with the Government of Finland. HEUNI operates under the joint auspices of the United Nations and the Government of Finland.

Victims of trafficking for forced labour are difficult to identify
A new three country study takes a comprehensive look at trafficking for forced labour in Finland, Poland and Estonia. The study shows that the level of awareness of trafficking for forced labour is generally low in the three countries, and situations of exploitation are difficult for authorities and other actors to identify.
