International Cooperation Hub

Welcome to the SHERLOC International Cooperation Hub!

International cooperation in criminal matters has been at the centre of UNODC's work. With its many years of experience acting as the guardian of several international treaties that deal extensively with international cooperation as well as serving as the Secretariat to various relevant inter-governmental bodies, UNODC has firmly established itself as a centre of excellence in this area.

This page serves as central landing page for all resources available on SHERLOC related to international cooperation.
