The U.S. delegation will be led by Ambassador Luis Arreaga, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) and Special Representative of the Secretary of State to the 13th UN Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice. The Crime Congress will include a notable broad array of experts in the field of crime prevention and criminal justice, with NGO leaders, academics, and journalists joining diplomats and other government officials at various sessions.
