About us

The SHERLOC (Sharing Electronic Resources and Laws on Crime) knowledge management portal is developed and maintained by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) to facilitate the dissemination of information regarding the implementation of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and its three Protocols, as well as the international legal framework against terrorism.

SHERLOC is free and accessible to the public without the need for registration.*

SHERLOC is accessible in each of the six official languages of the United Nations (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian and Spanish).

*Note: access to the CNA Directory is restricted to competent national authorities and Permanent Missions to the United Nations.
