Globalisation has seen an explosion in the volume of transnational organised crime and a major need for international cooperation to combat it. Mr John Connolly, ILSTA, gave an Open Lecture on Mutual Legal Assistance on 6 December. The lecture explored how Mutual Legal Assistance works and how it is being regulated through both bilateral, regional and international agreements. The lecture included practical examples emphasising the current situation in Laos and the increasing need for training of staff at all levels of the legal sector in order to ensure efficient and secure processing of requests.
