The government says it will continue to prioritize the training of magistrates and other players in the justice sector in order to respond fully to new challenges, especially terrorism, transnational crime, maritime crime, economic-financial crime, cybercrime and crime against wildlife and biodiversity.

The guarantee was given by the Minister of Justice, Constitutional and Religious Affairs, Helena Kida, who was speaking recently in Maputo at the opening of the coordinating councils of the National Penitentiary Service (SERNAP), the Center for Legal and Judicial Training (CFJJ) and the Institute for Legal Sponsorship and Assistance (IPAJ).

Quoted by the newspaper NewsHelena Kida stressed that these emerging issues in the national and international legal system require effective responses from the administration of justice, as they jeopardize the well-being of the country and the region.

It is in this context that a pedagogical project is underway in various components, including strengthening the ethics and integrity of the sector, through reforms in training and in the system of entry into careers in the administration of justice and promotion of magistrates.

She explained that the initiative has the support of the project "Strengthening the Capacities of Judicial Operators to Prevent and Combat Corruption", financed by the European Union, with technical assistance from the Spanish Agency for International Development Cooperation.

She said that the reforms include integrating curricula in the skills training approach with issues related to human rights, wildlife and biodiversity, through the technical assistance program.

"The curriculum integration includes issues of maritime law and the sea, through the project to create maritime courts, an instrument of good governance of justice and sovereignty supported by the French Embassy with technical assistance from the French National School of the Magistracy," she said.
