On the 6th of October 2021, the CyberSouth project organised the First Regional Workshop on the Second Additional Protocol to the Budapest Convention aimed at presenting the new legal instruments for an enhanced international cooperation on cybercrime and e-evidence. Participants representing criminal justice authorities (Ministry of Justice, International Legal Department dealing with mutual legal assistance, Prosecutor’s Office, and Law Enforcement Agencies ) from the priority countries, attended the workshop and discussed the purpose and scope of this Protocol, the procedures for enhanced direct cooperation with providers and entities in other Parties, and the procedures for enhanced international cooperation between authorities for disclosure of stored computer data.
The regional workshop is part of a series of activities that will support the priority countries to be acquainted with the provisions and tools offered by the forthcoming Second Additional Protocol to the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime, and also to identify the gaps from their domestic legislation and ways of its harmonisation.
