On 24–26 April, the GLACY-e joint project of the European Union and the Council of Europe organised an Introductory Course on the Convention on Cybercrime (Budapest Convention) for Lesotho’s task force that is currently involved in the reform of the legal framework on cybercrime and electronic evidence.
During the three day course, the participants increased their knowledge on the provisions of the Budapest Convention, identified and discussed core concepts on cybercrime and electronic evidence.
The activity was designed to equip the members of the task force with the necessary expertise on international standards, for a smoother harmonisation of the cybercrime legal framework. The workshop is part of the wider partnership with Lesotho, targeting the reform of the cybercrime legislation in the country and will be accompanied by additional support during the process of reinforcing the capacities of criminal justice authorities.
The GLACY-e project continues to promote the adoption of legislation on cybercrime and electronic evidence consistent with the Budapest Convention and by observing the human rights and rule of law standards.
