Within the framework of Ain Shams University's keenness to cooperate with major state institutions, and the Public Prosecution's keenness to keep pace with the steps of Egypt's Vision 2030, which was proposed by His Excellency President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi, President of the Arab Republic of Egypt, and its title is "A New Beginning for Building the Egyptian Person", the Attorney General, Counselor Mohamed Shawky, received Prof. Mohamed Diaa Zain El-Abedeen, President of Ain Shams University, on the occasion of launching the first version of the Egyptian Public Prosecution Program to exchange legal expertise with Egyptian and international universities and institutions. A cooperation protocol was also signed between the Egyptian Public Prosecution and Ain Shams 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 will be aware of their humanitarian duty, which is closely related to the rest of their legal duties.
For his part, Prof. Mohamed Diaa Zain El-Abedeen, President of Ain Shams University, expressed his happiness with this fruitful cooperation with the Public Prosecution, stressing that this protocol represents an important step in enhancing cooperation between academic and judicial institutions, and contributes to preparing a generation of qualified legal professionals to face contemporary legal challenges.
His Excellency added that Ain Shams University is keen to provide the best opportunities for its students to gain practical experience and specialized legal knowledge, and that this program will enable them to learn about the latest trends in the field of law and justice.
The signing of the protocol took place in the presence of Prof. Mohamed Safi, Dean of the Faculty of Law, at Ain Shams University, Prof. Mohamed El Shafei, Vice Dean of the Faculty for Education and Students Affairs, and Prof. Yassin El Shazly, Vice Dean of the Faculty for Graduate Studies and Research.
