Doha: The Public Prosecution, through its Institute of Criminal Studies, has organised a regional training course on combating human trafficking in partnership with the United Nations Centre for Documentation and Training in the Field of Human Rights for Arab Countries and Southwest Asia. Titled "Combating the Crime of Human Trafficking in Accordance with International Standards," the course brought together 10 members of Qatar's Public Prosecution alongside 10 counterparts from across GCC countries.

The training covered the legal framework for combating human trafficking, relevant international conventions, and the nature and elements of the crime, including how it differs from similar offences. It also examined the role of public prosecution authorities in detecting and investigating trafficking cases, gathering evidence, and ensuring effective prosecution.

The course aims to strengthen participants' ability to apply international and national standards in combating human trafficking, while building their skills in detection, investigation and evidence-gathering, and reinforcing protections for victims and witnesses. It also seeks to promote judicial cooperation and knowledge-sharing among GCC states, offering participants the chance to draw on Qatar's experience in the field.

The initiative aligns with recommendations adopted by GCC attorneys general calling for greater exchange of expertise and joint training programmes among member states' judicial institutes.
