Doha: The Public Prosecution, in cooperation with the EU Delegation in Doha, has organized a training workshop on regulatory frameworks and practices in the digital age.
According to Qatar News Agency, HE Attorney General Dr. Issa bin Saad Al Jafali Al Nuaimi inaugurated the two-day event, attended by HE Ambassador of the EU to Qatar Dr. Cristian Tudor. In his opening remarks, Dr. Tudor underscored the EU’s partnership with Qatar in tackling the urgent challenges of the digital era. He emphasized the Union’s commitment to upholding the rule of law, protecting rights and freedoms online, and responsibly guiding technological innovation.
The workshop, led by international digital governance experts from the European University Institute, aims to deepen mutual understanding of regulatory challenges in the digital sphere. It encourages experience-sharing between Qatari and European institutions, while exploring policy tools and practical approaches to safeguard digital rights.
Participants will review real-world case studies to strengthen national capacities and reinforce core human rights principles in the digital environment, such as freedom of expression, privacy protection, and non-discrimination, as outlined in the United Nations Global Digital Compact.
This event is timely, as rapid digital advancement presents complex legal and regulatory challenges, including disinformation spread, privacy constraints, and increased surveillance mechanisms. Organizers stress the need for continuous regulatory updates to build effective digital justice systems and ensure technology benefits individuals and society.
Representatives from several Qatari institutions, including the Public Prosecution, Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Supreme Judiciary Council, and the National Cyber Security Agency, are attending the workshop.
