abstract
Paper brings the brief information on the 16th session of the UN Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice in Vienna in April 2007. On this session the importance of the knowledgebased approach to face the threat of serious international crime was stressed as well as the need of coordinated and concerted international action. Based on results obtained from the research work of the Institute of Criminology and Social Prevention some selected findings and recommendation related to the new Penal Code are presented especially with regard to the definition of so-called criminal conspiracy. It is recommended to use the definition of organised criminal group constituted by the UN Convention against transnational organised crime. In this relation, the need of ratification of this convention as well as the UN Convention against corruption was noticed.
