The Doha Declaration Global Programme published the web story on its website and its social media accounts.

The web story concerns side events that took place on the margins of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention against Transnational Organized Crime (UNTOC), within the framework of the Global Program for the Implementation of the Doha Declaration, entitled "20 years after the signing of UNTOC, crime prevention remains a multidimensional endeavor".

The State of Qatar hosted the Thirteenth UN Congress on Crime Prevention in 2015, in which the Doha Declaration was adopted that includes an action plan for the international community during the next five years in the field of crime prevention and criminal justice.

The State of Qatar has funded a global program to implement the recommendations of the Doha Declaration with more than $49 million implemented by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC).

The global program covered the areas of judicial integrity, education for justice, youth protection from crime through sport, and prisoner rehabilitation. The number of beneficiaries of the program has reached more than 1.8 million people from more than 190 countries. The number is expected to reach two million by the end of the program period in April 2021.
