Doha, Qatar: The Supreme Judiciary Council, in cooperation with the United Nations Human Rights Training and Documentation Centre for South-West Asia and the Arab Region, concluded Wednesday a specialized Gulf regional workshop entitled "Human Rights in the Administration of Justice."

The workshop was held from Sep. 22-24, with the participation of a select group of judges from the State of Qatar and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.

The workshop aimed to enhance Gulf judicial cooperation and exchange expertise at the regional and international levels, through an integrated academic and training program that included sessions on international principles and standards related to human rights in the administration of justice, fair trial mechanisms, and the basic guarantees associated with them.

The workshop also included discussions of national experiences in integrating international agreements and treaties into judicial rulings, and the exchange of best practices, which contributes to consolidating judicial independence and enhancing its efficiency.

The sessions addressed the key contemporary challenges facing the judiciary, particularly the use of artificial intelligence in judicial work, cyber investigations, and the impact of technology on justice and human rights.
