Libya & Egypt Strengthen Judicial Cooperation
Libya and Egypt have deepened their judicial cooperation as part of an ongoing technical partnership between their respective Public Prosecutor's Offices. The latest milestone came with the conclusion of a specialized training session organized by the Criminal Research and Training Center, marking the end of its 2024–2025 judicial year program. The session, held in Egypt, was part of a broader institutional cooperation between Libya's and Egypt's judicial development and modernization bodies. It involved 22 members of the third cohort of Libyan Deputy Public Prosecutors, who participated in professional workshops and legal capacity-building activities. The training focused on improving communication tools, professional conduct, and adherence to internationally recognized legal standards. It aimed to equip participants with the necessary skills to represent Libya's Public Prosecution regionally and globally and to engage more effectively in international cooperation on criminal matters. Workshops also highlighted mechanisms for international legal collaboration, helping Libyan prosecutors understand how to better contribute to global legal forums, cross-border investigations, and multilateral judicial engagements. Participants were exposed to both theoretical and practical applications, emphasizing global norms in criminal justice processes. This initiative aligns with Libya's broader efforts to modernize and professionalize its judicial institutions and legal workforce. It also reflects the country's strategy to foster deeper ties with neighboring states through institutional partnerships, particularly with Egypt, which has been a consistent regional ally in justice-sector development.

Libyan Prosecutors Receive Training in Cairo
As part of its international cooperation efforts, Libya's Criminal Research and Training Center—affiliated with the Office of the Attorney General—has dispatched 20 members of the Public Prosecution to Egypt for a professional training program focused on criminal justice. According to a statement released by the Libyan Attorney General's Office, the initiative is part of the final quarter of the judicial year 2024–2025, and aims to foster experience-sharing between judicial institutions in both countries. The training session, which concluded on Wednesday, July 23, focused on topics such as judicial mentoring, performance evaluation standards, and international quality benchmarks in institutional and individual performance within the criminal justice sector. Libyan officials confirmed that the training is part of a formal cooperation agreement between Libya's and Egypt's prosecution modernization and development institutions. This step reflects Libya's ongoing commitment to building institutional capacity, aligning with international standards, and enhancing regional legal cooperation with peer jurisdictions. Libya has been in chaos since a NATO-backed uprising toppled longtime leader Muammar Gaddafi in 2011. The county has for years been split between rival administrations. Libya's economy, heavily reliant on oil, has suffered due to the ongoing conflict. The instability has led to fluctuations in oil production and prices, impacting the global oil market and Libya's economy. The conflict has led to a significant humanitarian crisis in Libya, with thousands of people killed, and many more displaced. Migrants and refugees using Libya as a transit point to Europe have also faced dire conditions. The planned elections for December 2021 were delayed due to disagreements over election laws and the eligibility of certain candidates. This delay has raised concerns about the feasibility of a peaceful political transition. Despite the ceasefire, security remains a significant concern with sporadic fighting and the presence of mercenaries and foreign fighters. The unification of the military and the removal of foreign forces are crucial challenges. Tags: Attorney GeneralEgyptlibyaLibyan Judiciary
