[UNODC in the GCC Region 🇺🇳 @UNODC_OGCCR]

At #CCPCJ35, 🇦🇪 @moiuae & @UNODC_OGCCR highlighted how AI is reshaping crime faster than law enforcement can adapt from cybercrime & financial fraud to transnational organized crime. Institutions demand stronger governance, ethical AI & global partnerships. @UNODC @UNODC_OGCCR ⚖️

@NeilWalsh_UN thank you for your kind words. It has been pleasure working with you and the @UNODC_EA team. I will miss the @UNODC_EA family after more than a decade working in Eastern Africa.

[Neil Walsh @NeilWalsh_UN]

Well @m_temesvari, as you wrap up @UNODC_EA, know the indelible mark that you leave on your people.

You’re a woman of integrity, humanity & humility. And a fierce leader.

I’m so happy that we got to work together - and hopefully again someday 💪

Best of luck in the new post.

Today is St Rufael’s day in the Gregorian calendar. According to an Ethiopian tradition if it rains on this day the rain is holy and blesses those it falls on. May 2018 be a better year for Ethiopia and the world!
