On 9 April 2021 the UNODC Global Firearms Programme (GFP) held the second workshop for judges on firearms-related case law at the premises of the Court of Appeals in Nis, Serbia. The objective of the event was to identify areas for harmonization of the court practice and further develop UNODC’s case law collection by introducing new firearms-related court cases linked to firearms seizures at border crossing points between Serbia/North Macedonia and Serbia/Bulgaria.
The workshop presented an opportunity for the judiciary to highlight disputable legal questions arising from case law under Article 348 of the Criminal Code of Serbia and to contribute with information from court practice towards UNODC’s case law collection, which will be used to provide guidance to the practicing judges when adjudicating firearms-related cases.
This activity is conducted in the framework of the regional project on Criminal Justice Response against Arms Trafficking supported under the Western Balkans SALW Control Roadmap Multi-Partner Trust Fund by Germany, UK, Netherlands, France, Sweden and Norway.
