Conference on "Modern methods used in forensic examination" in Tiraspol

The overall goal of the project is to contribute to the observance of the right not to be subjected to inhuman treatment and torture through enhancing contacts/co-operation and dialogue between the authorities from both banks of the Dniester/Nistru River and developing skills of forensic experts in examining and documenting cases of torture. 

This conference "Modern methods used in forensic examination" is one of the activities implemented within the project. The conference will ensure information exchange among Transdniestrian and Moldovan forensic experts and law enforcement bodies on the existing practices to conduct qualitative and independent forensic expertise.
