(CNA Reporter Liu Shih-yi, Taipei, 23rd) The Supreme Prosecutors Office held a new book launch event today for "Prosecutorial Practices in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Singapore." Prosecutor General Hsing Tai-chao stated that the book introduces the efficient prosecutorial systems and practical experiences of the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Singapore, hoping to use them as a reference to make the domestic judicial system more rigorous and comprehensive.
Outgoing Prosecutor General Hsing Tai-chao called on prosecutors to personally visit various countries for on-site inspections to compile a series of professional legal books. This time, they chose to introduce the prosecutorial systems of the four countries (Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Singapore), emphasizing that their institutional designs and economic development are similar to Taiwan's, offering high reference value.
The book launch was held today at the "Guiyang Lecture Hall" of the Supreme Prosecutors Office. Representatives to Taiwan from the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Singapore all attended the grand event, highlighting the importance placed on international judicial exchange.
Bas Pulles, Representative of the Netherlands Office Taipei, stated that this book not only demonstrates a high level of professionalism but also embodies a firm commitment to strengthening the rule of law through international exchange.
In his speech, Hsing Tai-chao stated that the prosecutorial personnel systems in these four countries are relatively open and highly efficient. Furthermore, their national scales are similar to Taiwan's, making them well worth in-depth study by Taiwan.
In the book's preface, Hsing Tai-chao pointed out that the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg have unique features in their criminal justice personnel and institutional designs, particularly having accumulated rich experience in fields such as technological investigation, digital crime investigation, financial crime investigation, and transnational judicial cooperation. Singapore, on the other hand, has a mature development in prosecutorial systems, personnel training, case management, and criminal procedure operations. These institutional designs and practical experiences all serve as valuable references.
Hsing Tai-chao stated that the Supreme Prosecutors Office selected "Prosecutorial Practices in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, and Singapore" as the theme primarily to use systematic analysis and introduction to allow readers to grasp the operational overview of these countries' prosecutorial systems, thereby promoting the rigor and comprehensiveness of the domestic judicial system.
Deputy Minister of Justice Huang Mou-hsin stated at the event that he read the new book carefully after receiving it and was deeply touched by the introduction to Singapore's system. Because he had handled cases related to Singapore in the past and researched mutual judicial assistance issues between the two sides for a long time, after reading the new book, he immediately understood how to approach Singapore. This is a toolbook with immense practical value. (Editor: Chang Ya-ching) 1150423
