AGI – “It is a great pleasure to welcome the G7 of Justice today. The most important innovation will be the establishment of a Venice Justice Group, which will be permanent for the implementation and guarantee of the laws”. Justice Minister Carlo Nordio said this while meeting the press shortly before the start of the work of the G7 on Justice, underway today and tomorrow in Venice. “It is a day particularly full of emotions also because today is the day that commemorates the victims of terrorism, forty years ago I was the investigating judge of the investigation into the Red Brigades – he continued – but above all it is an important day because it consolidates a ‘unity’ of purpose and a unity of direction in the fight against organized crime, against human trafficking, against the spread of particularly dangerous drugs such as fentanyl and also with regard to the interest we have in intelligence developments artificial”.
“This morning we have already had bilateral talks with colleagues from Canada, Ukraine, the United States of America and Great Britain, others will continue tomorrow. It will be an extremely fruitful opportunity” he concluded.
The G7 Justice Ministers welcome the debut of the new working group, wanted and chaired by Italy. The first technical meeting has already been scheduled for November, on the commitment of AI in the field of Justice, which will also lead to possible legislative developments in the respective nations. The objective of the Venice Justice group is to promote coordination to address global challenges in the field of justice, starting with artificial intelligence, to contribute to the defense of democratic systems against online disinformation and the protection of electoral processes. Other challenges include digitalisation and environmental crimes.
A clash between the police and social centers occurred today in Venice on the occasion of a demonstration organized against the G7 of Justice, underway today and tomorrow in the lagoon city. The meeting point for the demonstrators was in front of the train station. When they attempted to approach the Scuola Grande di San Giovanni Evangelista, the hub of the summit, a police charge was recorded.
