Four cooperation protocols were signed, including the cooperation protocol between the Public Prosecution and Alexandria University, for the purpose of cultural and legal exchange between judicial, scientific and student cadres from all over the world as a basic pillar for qualifying young leaders of the future.
During his speech, the Attorney General stressed the importance of respecting international norms, charters and agreements, and the need for those concerned with justice and the law to unite against any violations of international humanitarian law, and to stand up to preserve the minimum basic human rights such as the right to life, food and shelter, as well as confronting crimes of ethnic cleansing and forced displacement, adding that this backlash against international legal rules will not only affect those who have fallen victim to it, but its repercussions will also affect those who have taken a vague position towards it. His Excellency concluded his speech by saying that the Egyptian Public Prosecution is playing its role to be part of the global human conscience, active in its regional and international environment, extending a helping hand to humanity with its infrastructure and practical and academic capabilities, so that future generations of legal cadres are aware of their humanitarian duty closely related to the rest of their legal duties.
For his part, Dr. Konsowa expressed his happiness at signing the cooperation protocol with the Public Prosecution in the prestigious judicial edifice that embodies one of the most important pillars of justice in our beloved country. His Excellency thanked His Excellency the Attorney General for this distinguished step towards cooperation between higher education institutions and the Public Prosecution.
Dr. Konsowa added that the Faculty of Law at Alexandria University has had and continues to have a constructive role in raising the level of its graduates, with whom the nation creates a just, organized and civilized society. The faculty has always been a pioneering scientific platform from which an elite of legal professionals graduated who had the honor of working in the judiciary and the Public Prosecution and rose through its ranks until they reached the highest positions. They played a prominent role in enriching the judicial system and in consolidating the rule of law in Egypt.
The university president concluded his speech by emphasizing that the university is committed to continuing its efforts and academic expertise to ensure that it provides the justice community in Egypt and the Arab world with the fruits of conscious legal youth who carry the banner of high knowledge coupled with advanced thought and keeping pace with the technology of legal knowledge.
