The event was led by the Forensic Medicine Service and the Forensic Justice: DNA Latin America project and was attended by delegates from the Attorney General&#8217;s Office, the Ministry of the Interior, the Judiciary, the Police, Judicial Experts, legal doctors, anthropologist lawyers and law students.<\/p><p><br>The objective of this event was to open a public debate on the use of criminal DNA databases and the advantages of using the genetic fingerprinting of victims and perpetrators to increase criminal prosecution and reduce impunity.<\/p><p><br>The event featured presentations by national and international legal experts who gave the audience legal and public policy recommendations related to the establishment and operation of DNA databases as a powerful tool for justice and the search for truth.<\/p><p><br>The Symposium also served as a space to formalize, with the signing of a memorandum of understanding, the international cooperation and technical assistance provided by Gordon Thomas Honeywell through its \u201cJusticia Forense \u2013 DNA Latin America\u201d project, to advise and support government officials, forensic laboratories and justice entities responsible for the establishment and operation of forensic DNA databases.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
