EUPOL COPPS organised a workshop to discuss the legislation for a modernised correctional service.
The bill of the Correction and Rehabilitation Centres was preceded by a proposal of updates from the Mission that led to several meetings during which the Mission, together with the PCP, was sitting in an ad-hoc committee chaired by the Ministry of Justice to tailor the draft.
The Ministries of Justice and Interior, senior Palestinian Civil Police officers, legal advisors from the Council of Ministers and other Ministries, in addition to representatives from civil society and EUPOL COPPS advisers participated in the event.
