Every year in Vienna, a small group of Quakers, who are experienced in criminal justice, attends a session of the UN Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice. Friends World Committee for Consultation has ‘general status’ with the UN, which means we have the right to attend sessions and speak. The theme for 2023 was ‘Access to Justice’.
