Agenda
IORGA RoomThe standards of the Conventions maintained by the Council of Europe in the areas of cybercrime, protection of children against sexual abuse, trafficking in human beings and violence against women are not simply complementary, but meant to encourage work between criminal justice authorities, protection officers and policy makers to ensure better criminal justice and related action in these areas. Substantive law offences, use of procedural tools for investigation and preventive/protective work with victims and witnesses are just examples where harmonisation would be key, while concepts such as action on cyberviolence could serve to indicate where and how such synergies should work.
The aim of this workshop is to further enhance synergies between four different – but interconnected – Conventions:
- Convention on Cybercrime (ETS No. 185)
- Council of Europe Convention on the Protection of Children against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse (CETS No. 201)
- Council of Europe Convention on preventing and combating violence against women and domestic violence (CETS No. 210)
- Council of Europe Convention on Action against Trafficking in Human Beings (CETS No. 197)
