The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in Pakistan, with support from the European Union, has organized a specialized workshop for members of the Sindh Judiciary focused on digital forensics, electronic evidence, and witness protection. The initiative aimed to enhance the capacity of judicial professionals in handling modern technological evidence and safeguarding the rights of those involved in legal proceedings.
Participants in the workshop received hands-on training in the collection, preservation, and presentation of digital evidence in line with current legal requirements. This practical approach is designed to ensure that digital materials are managed effectively and accepted in courtrooms, therefore improving the reliability of judicial processes.
The program also addressed international best practices for witness protection, equipping attendees with knowledge on how to maintain the safety and security of witnesses. By incorporating global standards and approaches, the workshop highlighted the importance of maintaining justice process integrity while upholding fundamental human rights.
Overall, the workshop reflects an ongoing commitment to strengthening the judicial system in Sindh, ensuring that it is equipped to face the challenges of the digital age and to protect those who seek justice.
