International Meeting on Criminal Sciences opens its doors in Havana

 HAVANA, Cuba, Mar 26 (ACN) As of today, Havana hosts the XVI International Meeting on Criminal Sciences and the IV Conference “Legality, Law and Society”, convened by the Attorney General's Office (FGR).

Renowned Cuban and foreign professionals from various branches of Law are attending both events, which are intended to approach an issue as important in today’s world as the prevention of and fight against crime and to make countries less vulnerable to the new forms of organized crime and its transnational expressions, namely human trafficking, international drug trade and cybercrime, among other scourges that respect no borders and against which it is necessary to close ranks.

Authorities engaged in this effort in Russia, Belarus, China, Vietnam, Venezuela, Nicaragua, Angola, Mozambique, Colombia and Spain, among other countries, are expected to participate in these conferences, as well as in an International Seminar on the fight against crime, organized in the context of a program of the European Union to enhance national capacities and defensive mechanisms.

These events will demonstrate once again the leading role of Law and its professionals in the construction of safer and more just societies attuned to the complex dynamics and situations of these times.
