UNICRI Information Mission in Moldova

The Interregional Institute of Criminal Justice and Justice of the United Nations (UNCRI) has launched the report "Assessment of threats regarding radioactive sources outside the regulated control in Ukraine: implications from the perspective of combating radiological and nuclear trafficking", which aims to assess the security of sources radioactive and non-lethal materials lost in Russia during the war.
For this purpose, UNICRI is conducting consultations with the ministries and agencies of the Republic of Moldova between June 23-25, 2025, and they have expressed their willingness to contribute to the search.
Thus, on the date of June 24, at the headquarters of ANRANR, UNICRI experts met with Agency specialists, during which consultations took place based on the Questionnaire with questions regarding the assessment of threats related to radiological and nuclear security. The survey will be implemented by UNICRI with the financial support of the Norwegian Radiological and Nuclear Safety Authority. As part of this project, UNICRI intends to carry out searches for materials outside of regulatory control in Ukraine, to organize consultations with law enforcement/security agencies regarding risk re-search, response strategies, as well as discussion of recent trafficking cases, to carry out a risk analysis regarding the possible ways of transferring materials that are not subject to regulated control and to sensitize the representatives of different organizations about the possible threats that arise from this situation in Ukraine.
