Prosecutors and judges from Vietnam, Laos and Thailand are taking part in a training programme on technology-facilitated crimes committed against children which began in Ho Chi Minh City on July 24.
The course has been organised by the Vietnam People’s Supreme Procuracy in cooperation with the United Nations Office on Drug and Crime (UNODC).
The course examines trial issues, tactics, strategies and laws related to internet crime against children.
It also describes how technical evidence is authenticated and how legal cases are prepared.
Information about the selection of jurors, post-verdict motions and sentencing issues are also being analysed.

The UN office as well as INTEPOL and World Vision contribute to the programme’s implementation.
