During the 32nd General Assembly of the Ibero-American Association of Public Prosecutors (AIAMP), a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between AIAMP and the EJN. The purpose of the MoU is to consolidate and improve the effectiveness of international cooperation between AIAMP and EJN in the fight against transnational crime and in the spirit of the globalisation of crime. This MoU appears as a natural step forward to strengthen the already existing good cooperation at operational level between the entities reflecting their close links resulting from common objectives.
The added value of this MoU is to formalise the relationship, to put in writing the general framework for the cooperation of the Parties and to extend this collaboration by establishing a bridge between EJN and the IberoAmerican Prosecutor´s Offices integrated in AIAMP with the purpose to encourage and develop strategic cooperation between the Parties and to raise awareness among practitioners in the region. The MoU is available here.
The 32nd General Assembly was organised with the financial assistance of the EL PACCTO 2.0 program and the FIAP.
