Doha: The Public Prosecution, represented by the Institute of Criminal Studies, in collaboration with the United Nations Documentation and Training Centre for Human Rights in the Arab States and Southwest Asia, has organized a regional training course for members of the Public Prosecution and Attorney General's offices in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.
According to Qatar News Agency, the course, titled "The Role of Public Prosecutors in Establishing Justice in Accordance with International Standards for Guaranteeing Human Rights," was attended by 30 members from the GCC countries' Public Prosecution and Attorney General's offices. The training aimed to enhance the understanding and application of international justice standards among legal professionals in the region.
The course covered a variety of topics, including concepts and mechanisms related to justice administration, the role of the Public Prosecution in ensuring justice, and safeguarding the rights of defendants and victims during the investigation and trial phases. Additionally, it addressed the integration of international agreements into national law, the challenges of their implementation, human rights in the digital age, and the protection of personal data and privacy rights.
Participants also explored the impacts of artificial intelligence on criminal justice, and international training experiences, as well as tools to support digital justice, notably the UNESCO Global Toolkit. This initiative underscores the Public Prosecution's dedication, alongside international partners, to developing the skills of its members and public prosecutions in the region, thereby enhancing their awareness of relevant international standards.
The training provides a platform for exchanging experiences and engaging in discussions on challenges and potential reforms, ultimately serving justice and protecting the rights of individuals and society.
