prosecutors of the International Legal Assistance Unit), preserving evidence at the scene of
crime (10 prosecutors and forensic experts, organized by FBI). The British Council organized
training in international human rights for more than 600 prosecutors with the participation of
both foreign and Georgian experts. Ongoing seminars include long-term training courses in
human rights (organized by UNDP, to be attended by approx. 40 prosecutors), in pre-trial
detention (organized by Norwegian Legal Advisors Mission to Georgia, for approx. 400
prosecutors) and trafficking in persons (organized in cooperation with the International
Organization for Migration, 55 prosecutors to be trained). Also, an extensive training for interns
of the Prosecution system has to be noted, that took place for three weeks for all 105 interns who
passed the second competition for the Prosecutor’s Office. Along with special training in various
fields, regular training in criminal procedure legislation is being conducted by experts from the
Office of the Prosecutor General and from other relevant organs on the amendments to the
criminal procedure legislation, which greatly contributes to the smooth transition to the new
standards. As one may see, the schedule and scope of training was very extensive and involved
both local and international actors. As envisaged from the very beginning, the prosecutors,
through these and future courses, will acquire specific operative specialization in specific fields
of law or work, which will define their working profile. The experience and feed-back from
these trainings is used to create a curriculum for future training courses, which are planned to
encompass extensive training in criminal law and criminal procedure, investigative techniques,
trial advocacy and other vital legal or non-legal issues for prosecutor’s profession. It is obvious
that training of the prosecutors and improving their professional skills is a priority.
