BICI Recommendation 1722(f) (Implemented)
Judiciary and prosecutorial training
To train the judiciary and prosecutorial personnel on the need to ensure that their activities contribute to the prevention and eradication of torture and ill-treatment.

Progress & Actions

Implemented

GoB has agreed to implement this recommendation through a training programme developed with the International Institute of Higher Studies in Criminal Sciences (ISISC) in Syracusa. ISISC enjoys special consultative status with the United Nations and the Council of Europe. ISISC has also a special cooperation agreement with the United Nations Office in Vienna (UNOV), and it is one of the eighteen organizations comprising the United Nations Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Programme Network. The Network assists the United Nations Programme and interested Member States in strengthening international cooperation in crime prevention and criminal justice.

This not-for-profit institute has developed a programme with Professor Bassiouni and features internationally recognised experts from the  Arab world and Arabic language materials on human rights law and international criminal law. The curricula will also contain real case studies from BICI.

A particular feature of the programme is that it takes an integrated approach so all relevant actors involved in the investigation and prosecution of torture and ill-treatment are exposed to each other, which encourages better coordination.
Accordingly, training will be in small groups comprising members from the judiciary, public prosecution and police.
