Cybercrime

On 9 July 2024, a one-day meeting on cybercrime legislation reforms was carried out in Yerevan, Armenia. Local authorities discussed with the Council of Europe experts a series of practical steps towards the  implementation of procedural powers under the Convention on Cybercrime (Budapest Convention) and the Second Additional Protocol to this treaty on enhanced cooperation and disclosure of electronic evidence.

Representatives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the National Police, the Ministry of Justice, the Data Protection Agency, the Prosecutor General’s Office, the Investigative Committee and the National Communications Regulator examined the current state of legislation in the field of cybercrime. The authorities recognised the importance of the provisions of the Second Additional Protocol and the added value of its ratification, as well as the benefits of conducting assessments and subsequent adoption of the necessary legislative changes.

The CyberEast+ project country team coordination meeting, on 10 July 2024, provided the opportunity for Armenian stakeholders to  exchange views on objectives, initial workplan and national needs like further training activities on financial investigations.
