The Criminal Research and Training Centre in Tripoli has concluded the fourth edition of its course on the “Basics of Forensic Medicine for Investigators”, as part of its approved training plan for the 2025–2026 academic year. The programme was attended by a group of public prosecutors working within the jurisdictions of the courts of appeal. The centre said the course forms part of an integrated training programme aimed at enhancing investigators’ professional skills, by strengthening their scientific knowledge related to criminal justice, technical evidence and expert support for judicial work. It also reviewed international models and standards related to handling forensic expertise requests, alongside field visits to the morgue, enabling participants to observe forensic work firsthand and familiarise themselves with examination and documentation procedures. The centre said such courses are part of a broader vision to support Libya’s criminal justice system, raise investigators’ professional standards and contribute to the proper administration of justice and the protection of legal safeguards.
