ABOUT THE TIJ

Building on Thailand’s engagement in the UN Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, Thailand Institute of Justice (TIJ) was established in 2011 with the aim to promote excellence in research and capacity-building in the area of criminal justice. The institute serves as a bridge that transports global ideas to local practices. The primary objective is to promote the implementation of United Nations Rules for the Treatment of Women Prisoners and Non-custodial Measures for Women Offenders (the Bangkok Rules) as well as other United Nations standards and norms related to women and children in contact with the criminal justice system.

As a member of the United Nations Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Programme Network Institute (UNPNI), TIJ also gears its work towards important cross-cutting issues on the United Nations agenda such as the rule of law, sustainable development, human rights, peace and security. At the same time, it works toward enhancing domestic justice system and the rule-based community within the ASEAN region.

ABOUT THE PROGRAMME

The Office of Strategy and Planning (OSP) is working on a project called the ‘Borderless Youth Forum’ that seeks to connect and empower passionate youth across the globe to innovate solutions targeted at improving justice and the rule of law. Leveraging on technology and the design thinking approach, Thailand Institute of Justice, in partnership with the United Nations on Drugs and Crime, launched the first phase of the forum covering the Asian region. At first launch, over 150 youths from 10 Asian countries, along with over 20 experts collaborated to produce 26 prototypes for justice. After it showcase at the 28 session of the commission on crime prevention and criminal justice at Vienna, Austria, next step for the project is to expand the coverage beyond Asia to connect Europe-Asia-Africa and later the Americas. The hope is to inspire youths to take action to improve justice as well as amplifying voices of youth around the world. The youth global dialogue is planned to be showcased at the Fourteenth United Nations Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice, which will be held in Kyoto, Japan in 2020.
