From 28 April to 2 May, the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) conducted the first Train-the-Trainers (TTT) session on countering radiological and nuclear (RN) trafficking for nuclear and radiological security stakeholders in Uzbekistan. The training took place in Tashkent and was hosted by the Customs Institute under the State Customs Committee of the Republic of Uzbekistan.

On 7 May 2025, UNICRI will participate in the partner-led session Advancing Integrity in the Supply Chains of Critical Energy Transition Minerals: An Evidence-Informed Policy Dialogue at the OECD Forum on Responsible Mineral Supply Chains, taking place at the OECD Conference Centre in Paris. The session will run from 11:00 to 12:30 in Room CC13 and will be held on-site only.

Chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) incidents pose a significant threat to global safety and security. These events can result in devastating human, environmental, and economic consequences, while also undermining public trust and social stability. Effectively managing CBRN risks requires a coordinated and strategic approach - one that goes beyond immediate response to include long-term planning, capacity building, and interagency collaboration.
