On 22 November 2022, the Council of Europe, in cooperation with the Ministry of Communication of Fiji, organised a stakeholder webinar on the roles and responsibilities of 24/7 Points of Contact Network under the Budapest Convention for representatives of Fiji.
The initiative aimed to provide an overview of the current functioning of the 24/7 Network under the Convention on Cybercrime, present best practices by Parties to the Convention, namely from Sri Lanka, Romania and the Philippines and different models of setting up of a 24/7 Point of Contact.
The Budapest Convention on Cybercrime, through its Article 35, provides for a Network of 24/7 contact points tasked with handling requests for expedited international cooperation on cybercrime and electronic evidence among the Parties.
Fiji was invited to accede to the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime in December 2021 and became a priority country for GLACY+ project starting June 2022.
