GENERAL BACKGROUND OF THE UNODC OFFICE IN MEXICO

In 1996, the Government of Mexico and the Governments of Central America, through their embassies accredited in Mexico, signed a Memorandum of Understanding by which they agreed to work together with UNODC to address drug and crime problems in the region. The Memorandum was the precedent for the signing in 2003 of a Headquarters Agreement between UNODC and the Government of Mexico for the establishment of the Regional Office for Mexico and Central America, in order to coordinate and supervise the activities of UNODC in this region. In this agreement, the Government of Mexico recognizes the legal personality of the Office in Mexico, as well as its privileges and immunities. In 2008, a Cooperation Agreement was signed that further strengthened relations between UNODC and the Government of Mexico, through which the modalities of cooperation between the two were established.

On October 15, 2012, a new Agreement was signed between the Government of the United Mexican States and the United Nations to generate a new form of association and grant the UNODC Office in Mexico the functions of a Liaison and Partnership Office, LPO. This new office will develop, together with the Mexican State, operations and functions of strategic planning, promotion of alliances, South-South Cooperation, exchange of information and knowledge, as well as

trend analysis. The strengthened partnership between Mexico and UNODC keeps the 2003 agreement in force.

The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, as guardian of the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (Palermo Convention) and the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), is mandated to support Member States in their efforts to prevent and combat the threats of organized crime, corruption, terrorism and illicit drugs, as well as to promote stable criminal justice systems and strengthen the rule of law, justice delivery and crime prevention schemes. UNODC is also committed to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and explicitly recognizes the correlation between sustainable development and the fight against drugs and crime.

3. Promote alliances between the public and private sectors to raise awareness about TdP and encourage citizen reporting.
