Cascade trainings of in-service training modules on reasoned judgements in criminal law and right to liberty and security (Article 5 of ECHR) were conducted on 11 - 12 June 2022 in İzmir with the participation of 106 judges and prosecutors.

The training was conducted by experienced trainers of the Justice Academy of Turkey, who had previously received training by the Council of Europe in the scope of the project. A national consultant of the project was present to observe the methodology in delivering the training. Lively discussions took place in group studies of the modules.

Guidebooks on “Pre-Trial Detention and Other Preventive Measures in Criminal Proceedings”, “Procedural Safeguards in Pre-Trial Detention Proceedings”, and the “Report on International Seminar on Reasoning of Judgments” were distributed to the judges and prosecutors during the cascade training activity.

This activity was organised under the EU/CoE Joint Project “Strengthening the Criminal Justice System and the Capacity of Justice Professionals on Prevention of the European Convention on Human Rights Violations”.
