UN Ancillary Meetings on Restorative Justice
Among the traditional features of UN Crime Congresses are the ancillary meetings that run simultaneously with the Congress. These meetings are convened by NGOs, UN Institutes and governments, and address topics expected to be considered by the Congress.
At the April 2000 Congress, a Working Party on Restorative Justice that had been established by the Alliance of NGOs on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (NY) presented a series of ancillary meetings addressing different topics related to restorative justice. Together they formed a kind of mini-conference on restorative justice, and were supplemented by other ancillary meetings sponsored by other NGOs on aspects of restorative justice practice.
