RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Attorney General Sheikh Saud bin Abdullah Al-Mujib says countries should boost the sharing of expertise and joint actions to counter global criminal networks.

Speaking recently at the First Summit of the Heads of Prosecution Services of G20 countries in Brazil, Al-Mujib said this was particularly important to tackle human trafficking and cybercrime, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Wednesday. 

He said it was also important to use the latest technology and artificial intelligence for crime-prevention activities.

Al-Mujib underscored Saudi Arabia’s commitment to human rights, and highlighted the country’s legislative developments in this regard.

He also praised the Saudi Green Initiative, Middle East Green Initiative and other projects for combating climate change and preserving biodiversity.

Al-Mujib concluded his speech by highlighting the summit’s role in fostering cooperation among G20 prosecution offices.

On the sidelines of the gathering that took place from Oct. 20 to 22, he held meetings on judicial matters with his counterparts from Brazil, Russia and India.
