  "account": "Abu Dhabi, UAE - The United Arab Emirates has advocated for enhanced global judicial cooperation amid the rising menace of organized, cyber, financial and environmental crimes during the UN Crime Congress in Abu Dhabi. Mubarak Al Neyadi, the UAE's Undersecretary of the Ministry of Justice, emphasized the need for proactive and resilient justice systems, backed by international collaboration built on trust, swift response, information and evidence sharing, and ongoing capacity building.\n\nAl Neyadi underscored that the Congress provides a unique chance to transform collective international determination into practical measures, bolstering the efficiency of criminal justice systems and their capacity to address evolving challenges. The primary outcome of the Congress is the Abu Dhabi Declaration, which the UAE perceives as the foundation for a new phase centered on implementation, follow-up, and measuring the impact of international commitments.\n\nThe UAE pledges to persist in supporting international legal and judicial partnerships, facilitating the exchange of expertise and best practices, and sustaining momentum behind the implementation of the declaration over the next five years. Al Neyadi stressed that the real measure of the Congress's success would be the ability of governments and institutions to translate these outcomes into policies, initiatives, and programs that benefit communities and enhance security.\n\nThe Congress will tackle the evolving nature of crime, particularly the challenges created by technological advancements. Al Neyadi highlighted the increasing transnational character of contemporary crime, which necessitates deeper coordination between countries and regional and international organizations.
