The Department of Justice's Prosecutions Division has been awarded the International Association of Prosecutors' Certificate of Merit.
It was awarded in recognition of its contribution to the work of the association, and its success in hosting its 2nd Asia & Pacific Regional Conference last November.
Director of Public Prosecutions Grenville Cross said the award is a "great honour for the prosecutors of Hong Kong", adding it is "a welcome recognition of the status now enjoyed at the international level by our prosecution service".
Mr Cross was presented with the certificate today by association president Nicholas Cowdery at its 10th Annual Conference & General Meeting in Copenhagen.
The division joined the association in 2001, as its 75th organisational member. The association is the first and only world organisation of prosecutors. It was established in 1995 at the United Nations Offices in Vienna. It is committed to developing close co-operation among the world's prosecutors and promote high standards of criminal justice.
It includes individual and organisational members from over 120 countries. The organisational members are drawn from every region of the world, and represent over 200,000 prosecutors.
