The United Nations-sanctioned world summit slated for June 30 is aimed at seeking ways to improve international cooperation on various issues regarding criminal justice systems and exchanging opinions.

Prosecutors generals from about 120 countries and high-level officials of important international organizations active in the field of criminal justice are expected to attend the event, according to the organizers.
In the mock conference, student participants took on roles as chief prosecutors from the United States, Mexico, Indonesia, Italy and Cambodia, and developed solutions to world problems.

The pirates hijacked a South Korean-operated freighter in waters off Somalia earlier this year but were captured by South Korean naval commandos and transferred to South Korea to face trial.
The Italian delegation, represented by Konkuk University students, said the countries should cooperate in preventing illegal transactions of precious cultural assets.
