In June 2019, the IIJ convened a West Africa Regional Workshop on Evidence in Dakar, co-hosted with the Government of Senegal, and supported by the Governments of Canada and Switzerland. The workshop was held under the auspices of the IIJ Judicial Capacity-Building Initiative; one of eight IIJ Core Initiatives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The workshop brought together 66 practitioners and experts, among them representatives of 16 different countries from across West Africa and nearby \u2014 including Algeria, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, Sierra Leone and Togo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The training focused on implementing the\u00a0GCTF’s Abuja Recommendations on the Collection, Use, and Sharing of Evidence for Purposes of Criminal Prosecution of Terrorism Suspects<\/em><\/a>. This document, endorsed by GCTF Ministers in September 2018, offers guidance to investigators and prosecutors of terrorism cases on how to build solid cases based on strong and admissible evidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participating in the workshop were prosecutors, investigators and judicial police officers dealing with forensic science, and military officers with experience working on terrorism cases. This was the first IIJ workshop which included military officers in its core audience, an important step for IIJ training in regions in which the military is assigned a quasi-law enforcement function and is often first on the scene in disrupting terrorist plots or responding to attacks \u2014 and thus plays a key role in the collection of evidence for criminal justice investigations and prosecutions of terrorism offences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His Excellency Ma\u00eetre Malick Sall, Senegal\u2019s Minister of Justice, opened the workshop with inspiring remarks calling on the practitioners to work together across borders to put the GCTF\u2019s guidance into practice. Her Excellency Marion Weichelt Krupski \u2013 Swiss Ambassador, Mr. Matthieu Kimmell \u2013 Canadian Charg\u00e9 d\u2019Affaires, and Captain Sadeeq Garba \u2013 representing Nigeria, all delivered remarks echoing the importance of strengthening international cooperation and rule of law. During the three-day training, expert practitioners from West Africa, Europe and North America presented on real-world cases, with a focus on three main types of evidence covered by the Abuja Recommendations<\/em> \u2014 physical forensic evidence, electronic evidence, and witness testimony \u2014 as well as battlefield evidence and judicial cooperation. Participants exchanged their own experiences in collecting, sharing, and using such evidence, and applied the Abuja Recommendations<\/em> to a series of complex hypothetical exercises that the IIJ, with funding from Switzerland, developed specifically for this training. They identified major challenges to effectively using evidence in terrorism cases and discussed strategies for doing so in their own national criminal justice systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initial feedback indicates that the workshop successfully enhanced practitioners\u2019 knowledge of the Abuja Recommendations<\/em> and built their capacity to operationalise these good practices in their work. The IIJ plans to continue implementing the Abuja Recommendations<\/em> with a follow-on East Africa Workshop on Evidence in 2020. This training also forms a complement to the IIJ\u2019s ongoing capacity-building project on Battlefield Evidence, which began with a Global Workshop and Judges Workshop earlier in 2019, and the newly developed IIJ Core Curriculum on Using Information Derived from Intelligence to Generate Evidence for Terrorism Investigations and Prosecutions, the first course for which will take place in July 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
