Within the framework of the bilateral programme entitled "Strengthening the legal regime against terrorism in Jordan", UNODC/TPB held a moot court on the investigation, prosecution and adjudication of terrorism-related cases. It was held in Amman from 9 to 11 May 2016. The moot court was the fourth and final activity held under the above-mentioned programme.
UNODC/TPB developed a real-life-situation moot court on terrorism-related crimes such as incitement, glorification, recruitment and other forms, to be conducted by Jordanian key counter terrorism institutions. Participants were also provided with complementary presentations to ensure a comprehensive approach on countering terrorism.
About 25 Jordanian participants composed of criminal justice and law enforcement officials were in attendance. Experts from UNODC/TPB as well as national and international experts delivered technical presentations and guided the participants through the moot court.
The moot court provided an excellent opportunity for both UNODC/TPB experts and Jordanian participants to highlight real gaps and difficulties faced when investigating and prosecuting terrorism-related cases in Jordan.
Additionally, the need to strengthen the coordination and communication between different relevant entities was emphasized, and best practices were shared in this regard.
The participants praised the value of the training and the generous contributions of the Japanese Government to support the UNODC/TPB programme.
