Accelerating Prosecution of Criminals and Terrorists in Lebanon by Digitizing Paper Criminal Court files

Agency: Bureau of International Narcotics-Law Enforcement

Assistance Listings: 19.703 -- Criminal Justice Systems

Last Updated: March 26, 2026

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.
