The Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (CCPCJ) is a functional commission created by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) in 1992 to guide the United Nations on matters of criminal justice. In 2006, the General Assembly (GA) empowered the CCPCJ to act as a governing body of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), along with the Commission on Narcotic Drugs (CND). The CCPCJ consists of 40 Member States representing all regions of the world, elected by the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) to three year terms.
