Question of Criminal Accountability of UN Officials and Experts on Missions

Here the delegates can discuss their position on the Question of Criminal Accountability of UN Officials and Experts on Missions. I will also be posting any useful information or articles that I can find.

Brazil's article 7.II.b. of the Penal Code 5 establishes domestic jurisdiction over all crimes allegedly committed by Brazilian nationals, regardless of the location of where the crime was committed and of the solemnity of the alleged crime. Brazil also asserts jurisdiction over crimes which the country is obliged to combat, even when the crime occurred in the territory of another nation. Such restrictions are applicable to all Brazilians, including those serving as United Nations officials or experts on mission. Brazil has entered into a number of bilateral agreements on judicial cooperation and mutual assistance in criminal matters, and it is willing to cooperate closely with the United Nations. The principle of this process of law is embalmed in Brazil's Federal Constitution of 1988.
