Objective
The aim of this 2.5-day workshop is to provide participants with a comprehensive overview of the wildlife and forest-related crimes which have raised major concerns in recent years.
Emphasis will be given to EU legislation and case law related to wildlife trade and trafficking, deforestation, and the illegal timber trade, the relationship between criminal and administrative law provisions for these crimes, as well as the main challenges for investigation, prosecution, and adjudication in this field.
This workshop will shed light on the protection of the environment through criminal law with special focus on wildlife and deforestation. By addressing these issues relevant for prosecutors as well as judges, it will facilitate the handling of future national court proceedings in this field.
