Judges Gain Knowledge to Convict Criminals

Twenty judges participate in a two-week Criminal Justice Program.

Twenty judges participated in the two-week Criminal Justice Program in Kabul.

15 November 2008 | Kabul, Afghanistan

Many judges in Afghanistan have never received specific trainings on Afghanistan's criminal laws. On October 25, 2008, USAID supported a two-week Criminal Justice Program which drew 20 judges from southern and eastern Afghanistan. The judges received training using USAID-developed materials on Afghan Constitutional Law; Penal Law; Criminal Procedure; and Special Criminal Laws, such as anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, counter-narcotics, and crimes against internal and external security.

This training was the second of three Criminal Justice Programs which are taking place around Afghanistan. Trainings like these equip judges with the knowledge to make sound, constitutional decisions on criminal cases, inspiring confidence in Afghanistan’s justice system.
