The International Association of Prosecutors (IAP) is a global non-governmental organisation of prosecutors, established by the United Nations in 1995, Vienna. It has 183 organizational members from 177 countries, and individual members. The IAP was established due to growth in transnational crime like drug trafficking, money laundering and fraud. It traces its origins to the eighth United Nations Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice in 1990, and subsequent development by the Hungarian National Association of Prosecutors, working with the Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Branch of the United Nations Office at Vienna (UNOV). At a meeting at UNOV in June 1995, representatives of eleven countries established the IAP as an independent NGO, with the secretariat located in Groningen, Netherlands, by November. Participants from 49 countries attended its first conference in Budapest in September 1996. In 1999 the headquarters moved to The Hague, since it was a center of international law. That year it announced the "IAP Standards of Professional Responsibility and Statement of the Essential Duties and Rights of Prosecutors," and asked its members to certify their adherence to it. In 2003 the IAP published the Human Rights Manual for Prosecutors. By 2020 IAP membership had grown to organizations in 177 countries, representing more than 350,000 people, as well as some 850 individual members. Its annual budget stood at about €500,000.
