The
Institute for the Advancement of Children’s Rights (IACR) recently held a
training seminar for police officers on investigation and prosecution of cases
involving children in conflict with the law.
The
training, held at the Faculty of Law of the University of The Gambia, targeted
20 police prosecutors and investigators.
It
was a follow-up to formal consultations between IACR president and founder,
Malick HB Jallow, and the Inspector General of Police Yankuba Sonko to
strengthen collaboration and cooperation between the Police and IACR for a more
effective child justice system.
Barrister
Jallow said the seminar was also part of broader efforts by IACR to raise
awareness and build capacity of key stakeholders in the child justice system.
The
event was graced by the Dean of the Faculty of Law, Professor Abubacarr
Senghore, and facilitated by IACR members, Ousman Kujabi and Mustapha Kah.
