First, justice in the sentencing process must be maintained by ensuring equal treatment for all individuals before the law. Second, technological innovation is crucial for increasing efficiency and accuracy in the legal process. Third, crime prevention and rehabilitation are also important focuses for creating a safer and more civilized society. In addition, the significance of international cooperation is increasing the capacity of law enforcement officials, as well as transparency and accountability are also emphasized in this article. Challenges such as harmonization of regulations, limited resources, resistance from certain parties, and so on, must be overcome with strong commitment and cooperation from various related parties.
