The IIJ, with the support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan, organised a workshop in Tokyo on Building Cooperation and Coordination to Promote the Rule of Law.
The workshop brought together criminal justice practitioners from Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan to exchange real-life case studies, good practices, and comparative perspectives on FTF repatriation and prosecution.
Japan’s State Minister H.E. Hisayuki FUJII and the IIJ’s Executive Secretary Steven Hill opened the workshop, joined by distinguished speakers, including Mr. Koichi WARISAWA, Director of the International Safety and Security Cooperation Division, and Mr. Hisayuki FUJII, as well as Mr. Romain RIDEAU, Political Counsellor for the Embassy of France in Japan.
The discussions were centred on raising awareness of FTF repatriation and prosecution, the legal implications of prosecuting and adjudicating FTFs, sharing best practices in criminal justice responses, and strengthening regional cooperation.
