Doha: In cooperation with the United Nations Human Rights Training and Documentation Centre for South-West Asia and the Arab Region, concluded a specialized Gulf regional workshop entitled "Human Rights in the Administration of Justice."
According to Qatar News Agency, the workshop was held from September 22-24, with participation from a select group of judges from Qatar and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The workshop aimed to enhance Gulf judicial cooperation and exchange expertise at both regional and international levels. It featured an integrated academic and training program that included sessions on international principles and standards related to human rights in the administration of justice, fair trial mechanisms, and the basic guarantees associated with them.
The workshop included discussions on national experiences in integrating international agreements and treaties into judicial rulings and exchanging best practices. This contributes to consolidating judicial independence and enhancing its efficiency. The sessions addressed key contemporary challenges facing the judiciary, particularly the use of artificial intelligence in judicial work, cyber investigations, and the impact of technology on justice and human rights.
Participants also explored UNESCO's global training tools for harnessing artificial intelligence to promote the rule of law. These discussions brought together national expertise and international references. The Supreme Judiciary Council emphasized that the workshop is part of its strategic vision to develop justice systems and enhance institutional efficiency by improving judicial capabilities and preparing them to handle modern and complex cases. This effort aims to reinforce the principles of the rule of law and the protection of rights, strengthening Qatar's position as a regional center for justice and human rights in line with Qatar National Vision 2030.
The workshop concluded with the distribution of certificates to participants, who praised the quality of the scientific content and discussions. These contributions have helped build a solid knowledge base that supports the development of judicial work in the region.
