There can be no doubt that the prosecuting authorities and the criminal justice systems of a country play a key role in upholding the rule of law.
The most important function of any prosecuting body is to evaluate the evidence collected by the police, and to filter the quality and quantity of cases to be sent up for trial. In this regard, the modernization and efficiency of the various functions of prosecutors can not be overlooked, whether in conducting prosecutions, supervising investigations, ensuring implementation of court decisions or implementation of national crime policies. Similarly, the importance of implementing effective safeguards for prosecuting authorities for carrying out their functions can also not be undermined.
