On 18-19 April 2018 the European Union and the Council of Europe, in co-operation with the Chief Prosecutor’s Office of Georgia, organized a training on human rights protection at pre-trial stage for prosecutors and investigators.

The purpose of the training was to raise awareness on European standards of human rights protection at pre-trial stage for prosecutors and investigators.
