COMMUNITY responsibility, accountability, cracking down on corruption and youth education are some of the solutions Khaleem Ali has seen other countries use in their crime prevention and reduction strategies.

The 26-year-old lawyer has been working with the UN in various capacities since his early 20s, most recently on Generation Justice Youth Network, a committee made up of 50 young people worldwide. He chaired the Latin America and the Caribbean sub-committee as the only Caribbean representative present. The group created a Youth Global Blueprint for Action which will be part of the discussions at the 15th UN Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice in 2026.

The 15th Crime Congress will be held from April 25 - 30, 2026 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.
