The Center for Legal and Judicial Studies (LJSC) at the Ministry of Justice in Doha recently conducted three training courses aimed at enhancing the legal skills of legal professionals in various ministries and governmental agencies. The courses covered important topics such as provisions of the Qatari Anti-Cybercrime Law, judicial police in the field of taxes, and provisions of the Qatari Civil Human Resources Law. Participants were provided with legal and practical knowledge in these areas to familiarize them with the types of cybercrimes, investigation procedures, and penalties designated for these crimes according to Qatari law.
The course on provisions of the Qatari Anti-Cybercrime Law focused on equipping participants with the necessary skills to investigate electronic crimes and understand the rights and guarantees of the accused during the investigation phase. The curriculum included an overview of cybercrime investigation procedures, handling of evidence, and the powers granted to cybercrime investigation authorities. By referring to relevant laws such as Law No. 14 of 2014 and Law No. 23 of 2004, participants were able to deepen their understanding of the legal framework surrounding cybercrimes in Qatar.
The training course on Qatari Civil Human Resources Law aimed at enhancing participants’ legal and practical knowledge in areas such as appointment in the public service and the general principles of the law. Participants were exposed to provisions and controls related to civil human resources, with a focus on developing their capabilities in this field. The course provided a comprehensive overview of the Qatari Civil Human Resources Law to ensure that participants were well-versed in its provisions and regulations.
The LJSC’s course on judicial police in the field of taxes was designed to improve the legal and practical skills of employees of the General Tax Authority (GTA). Participants were familiarized with the tasks of judicial control officers with jurisdiction in the field of taxes, as well as the nature of judicial police and the distinctions between officers with general and special jurisdiction. By gaining insights into the provisions of the Income Tax Law and the Selective Tax Law, participants were able to enhance their understanding of judicial control in the field of taxes.
Director of the LJSC, Dr. Saleh Ali Al Fadala, emphasized the importance of these specialized training courses in boosting the legal skills of legal researchers and specialists. He highlighted the significance of maximizing the benefits of these courses for ministries and government institutions, which have designed them to address their specific training needs. The judicial police course, in particular, was tailored for employees of the GTA as part of a broader initiative to foster legal cooperation and partnership in training and qualification between LJSC at the Ministry of Justice and various governmental bodies and institutions.
In conclusion, the recent training courses organized by the LJSC at the Ministry of Justice in Doha have played a crucial role in enhancing the legal knowledge and practical skills of legal professionals in Qatar. By focusing on key legal areas such as cybercrimes, civil human resources, and judicial police in the field of taxes, participants were able to deepen their understanding of complex legal frameworks and regulations.
