About the venue
Beijing Hotel was founded in 1900 and perfectly located in the centre of Beijing, in the Dongcheng District, only minutes from the Forbidden City and Tiananmen Square and just east of the well-known Wangfujing Street.
The conference theme
The theme for the conference: "Prosecution in the Public Interest - Facing the challenges and opportunities in changing societies".
Prosecutors always serve the public interest. In some jurisdictions, this is reflected specifically in ´the public interest test’ in deciding whether to prosecute a suspect or not. But also in a broader sense, prosecution is guided by the public interest; in how we prioritise and organise our activities and the principles and procedures that we apply. We are expected to deliver effective law enforcement, investigation and prosecution, efficient collaboration with other public agencies; and we are expected to adapt to global developments to achieve the expected domestic outcomes in accordance with law.
The 22nd IAP Annual Conference will put special emphasis on three important global developments and look into the domestic challenges that follow to ensure that prosecution remains in the public interest: How can we, in our investigation and in our prosecution work best respond to the increasing digitalization of public and private life, to the increasingly transnational nature of crime, and to the fact that an ever increasing proportion of people live in cities?
