During the event, speakers emphasized the pivotal role of Sharia and Law students as future “guardians of justice.” Participants were encouraged to uphold the highest professional and ethical standards and to lead community efforts in raising legal awareness against transnational crimes.

The program featured high levels of engagement, with students participating in technical and legal discussions that reflected a deep commitment to the principles of financial transparency and the rule of law.
