ACPF, a unique United Nations'' NGO in Asia
-Promising Contributions to the World-
The Establishment and Development of ACPF
The Asia Crime Prevention Foundation (ACPF) was established in 1982, with the primary aim of promoting "Prosperity without Crime" through assisting, inter alia, the activities of the United Nations Asia and Far East Institute for the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders(UNAFEI). The ACPF is supported largely by contributions from its Alumni Members.
Since its foundation, in addition to supporting UNAFEI''s activities, the ACPF has made other important contributions such as assisting the overseas participants in the UNAFEI International Training Course in establishing and organising activities in their respective countries upon their return, and, in conjunction with the former participants, providing technical assistance for the implementation of anti-crime measures and working for the legislation and promotion of UN crime prevention measures, in their respective countries. ACPF also worked in collaboration with UNAFEI to improve the criminal justice legislation and promote counter-measures to international crime, in the region.
Recognition of ACPF''s Public Accountability and its International Achievements
In 1989, the Japanese government designated ACPF as a "Foundation for the Promotion of Public Benefits" in recognition of ACPF''s achievements. Three years later, in 1991, ACPF gained consultative status to the United Nations Economic and Social Commission (category 2) in recognition of its wide international contributions in the field of the crime prevention and criminal justice. Currently, ACPF is the only "UN-NGO" competent in such matters with its headquarters based in Asia .
Toward Increasing Contributions from the Asia-Pacific Region
As a UN-NGO, and having been publicly recognised as an integral organisation within the global framework of international co-operation, ACPF strives to perform more important international functions and activities, in addition to its role as an assistance agency. In this context, ACPF has made efforts to enlarge its organisation by increasing its individual and corporate membership. Accordingly, ACPF now maintains 27 branches throughout Japan (as of October 1998) and is seeking to further to expand its organisation domestically. With the financial support provided by these offices, ACPF can increase its support and co-operation with its overseas branch offices. In this way ACPF seeks to increase contributions from Japan to Asia and at the same time increase contributions from Asia to the world.
Finally, it may be recalled that crime is said to be one of the three most malevolent calamities faced by the human race. Dealing with crime and its reduction in the Asia-Pacific region is a vital role which ACPF as a unique, UN-NGO strives to achieve.
We sincerely request your co-operation and support.
