The Doha Declaration, adopted by Congress, demonstrates the importance of the rule of law for children and youth, crime prevention and the development of a legal culture. In support of this, UNODC developed the Doha Declaration to develop and disseminate its work in primary and secondary education. Based on the above, the program also discussed future work.
