Following the introductory module of the Judicial Training Programme on cybercrime and e-evidence organised in October 2024 in Bogor, Indonesia, 33 Indonesian judges and prosecutors returned to Bogor to attend the advanced course of the programme, and a soft skills training held during 25–29 November 2024.
Building on the learning outcomes of the introductory module, the aim of the advanced course was to further equip participants with the knowledge and skills required to fulfill their tasks relating to cybercrime investigation and trial. For this purpose, participants engaged in a mock trial exercise designed to enhance their practical skills and apply their learning effectively in simulated legal proceedings. Additionally, they attended a session led by a local expert, which provided them with critical insights into handling digital evidence.
By completing both sessions of the Judicial Training Programme, national trainers are encouraged to adapt training materials to the domestic specificities in view of integration into the national training curricula and further deliver domestically training on cybercrime and e-evidence.
Through the Octopus Project, the Council of Europe will continue to support countries worldwide in strengthening of domestic legislation on cybercrime and enhancing capacities and skills based on the Convention on Cybercrime (Budapest Convention) and its Additional Protocols as global standards.
The Council of Europe gratefully acknowledges voluntary contributions of the Governments of Japan and US to Octopus Project in support of the Southeast Asian countries.
