I Seminario del Centro Atlántico de Estudios Judiciales

This seminar, which is aimed at professionals in the justice field, is organised by the Atlantic Centre for Judicial Studies (Centro Atlántico de Estudios Judiciales, or CAJ), an organisation whose creation was promoted by the Canary Islands Government´s Department of Presidency, Justice and Security and the General Council of Judicial Power, and whose members include judges and attorneys from the higher courts of western Africa.

This is the first time that this network of experts will meet, with the aim of creating a space for coordinating judicial actions between the Canary Islands and the African region. The central topics will include international penal cooperation, translational delinquency and forced prostitution. In addition, female African lawyers, invited by the Network of Women for a Better World, will also participate.

The five nations that signed the adhesion document with the Atlantic Centre for Judicial Studies will meet at the Casa África headquarters to hold this five-day seminar from the 25th to the 29th of April 2011, and it will be divided into two main sections: Analysis of international penal cooperation and Transnational delinquency.
