DESCRIPTION:15\, 16\, 21 and 22 July 2020: Africa Criminal Justice Reform 
 (ACJR) will host a series of four one-hour webinars about the National Pro
 secuting Authority in July 2020 with a particular emphasis on the way forw
 ard.   An independent prosecution authority\, free from political interfer
 ence\, is fundamental to any democracy’s criminal justice system. South 
 Africa created a new National Prosecuting Authority in 1998\, which is the
  linchpin of accountability and for responding to crime in South Africa. N
 o other entity has the original power to prosecute. The appointment and di
 smissal process of the National Director of Public Prosecution (NDPP) and 
 other senior prosecutors is key to the independence and accountability of 
 its functioning. Performance of the prosecuting authority should be anchor
 ed on the rule of law\, accountability\, public interest and trust. Lookin
 g to the future we need to acknowledge what went wrong with the NPA\, but 
 also take lessons and see how we can develop solutions relating to law\, p
 olicy and practice reform. Ultimately\, we are seeing a prosecution servic
 e that enjoys legitimacy because it is trusted by the public to act in the
  broad public interest.   ACJR will launch a series of infographics at eac
 h webinar to stimulate the discussions. The interactive webinars will be f
 acilitated by Lukas Muntingh\, Jean Redpath and Kristen Petersen from ACJR
 .
