Accelerating Prosecution of Criminals and Terrorists in Lebanon by Digitizing Paper Criminal Court files
Bureau of International Narcotics-Law Enforcement
Who can apply
Applicants must also meet the following requirements to be eligible to apply to this NOFO: • Experience in Lebanon or similar Middle Eastern country that routinely deals with conflict. • At least 5 years’ experience working with a judicial system to document and digitize criminal or other case files. • Successfully digitized court case files for a non-U.S. partner government.
About this opportunity
By digitizing criminal court files, the project will expedite investigations and prosecutions, ensuring that individuals accused of collaborating with Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO)s or Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCO)s, including those who threaten U.S. Interests, are held accountable. Enhanced digital access will also strengthen collaboration between U.S. and Lebanese Law Enforcement Agencies, enabling both countries to access criminal case files in minutes rather than months. This will significantly enhance the ability of U.S. agencies to investigate and disrupt FTO and TCO activities in Lebanon, directly supporting U.S. national security objectives.
