The International Association of Prosecutors, and the GLACY+ and Octopus projects of the Council of Europe successfully co-organised a series of five thematic webinars to exchange views and share experiences on the existing and new forms of cooperation for effective access to electronic evidence, as well as legal tools proposed by the 2nd Additional Protocol to the Convention on Cybercrime (Budapest Convention). 

Based on the outcomes of this series, International Association of Prosecutors, and the GLACY-e and Octopus projects of the Council of Europe will continue to provide a dialogue platform for prosecutors on the possible practical implementation of the Second Additional Protocol. This will be done in the form of a new series of webinars, focusing on the implications for prosecutors on three main themes:

• Direct cooperation with providers and entities in other Parties;
• Judicial international cooperation tools ;
• Co-operation in absence of applicable international agreements.

Cybercrime – that is, offences against and by means of computer systems – has evolved into a significant threat to fundamental rights, democracy and the rule of law, as well as to international peace and stability, and has a major social and economic impact.

Therefore, cybercrime as a transnational phenomen by its nature, continues to attract high interest from criminals and is “taking the place” of other domestic crimes and creates a huge economic impact  by fraud, phishing and ransomware.

The pandemic has not only increased the reliance on information and communication technology and accelerated the digital transformation of societies but also offered criminals new opportunities to exploit them in the form of phishing campaigns and malware distribution, ransomware attacks (including against health facilities), fraud schemes, disinformation or increased online sexual violence against children. These are not necessary new forms of cybercrime but the focus might be a bit different than before the pandemic in the sense that they are targeting health care infrastructure, medicines, medical equipment, financial institutions or public information system.

The aim of this training course is to provide LEA representatives from the priority countries of CyberSouth, CyberEast, GLACY+, iPROCEEDS-2 and Octopus projects with an understanding on the international dimension and impact of ransomware attacks. Furthermore, best practices on conducting criminal investigations on ransomware attacks, legal and technical tools to be used as well as different investigative techniques will be shared with the participants.

The activity will take place online by using a videoconferencing platform. The official language of the event will be English.

 This training will be particularly useful for LEA representatives of the C-PROC projects' priority countries.

The Octopus project of the Council of Europe in cooperation with the Joint EU/CoE GLACY+ project are organising a series of multistakeholder webinars / roundtables in the Latin America region with the aim to raise awareness about the benefits of the Second Additional Protocol, and explain its provisions to civil society, data protection experts amongst other stakeholders. This is envisaged to support acceptance of the Protocol in the region and will facilitate internal accession procedures in respective countries with a view of using the toolkit offered by the 2nd Additional protocol to the Budapest Convention once it is adopted and opened for signature.

The Council of Europe and the APWG (Anti-phishing Working Group) have been collaborating for many years to strengthen the criminal justice response to cybercrime and raise awareness among relevant stakeholders and the public on related matters.

The new and emerging technological tools available to cyber criminals introduce further exacerbate existing issues related to retaining and accessing electronic evidence, admissibility of electronic evidence, territoriality and jurisdiction, and international and public-private cooperation. As such, they present a significant challenge to the effective investigation and prosecution of cybercrime.

This webinar, jointly organised by the GLACY+ Project and APWG.EU, aims to highlight avenues for international collaboration to effectively combat cybercrime committed using emerging technologies and to harness the potential of these technologies to assist the work of criminal justice authorities, and provide a platform for exchange of best practices and resources.

The event will take place online via Bluejeans Events platform. The webinar will be held in English and the discussion will be recorded.

  28 April 2022

  16:00-18:00 CEST

  This webinar will be particularly useful for policymakers responsible for cybercrime policies and legislation; representatives in charge of cooperation with LEAs; criminal justice practitioners; and representatives of the private sector. Please register here before 26 April 2022, 13h00 GMT.

Cybercrime is a threat to human rights, democracy and the rule of law. Criminal justice authorities are confronted with a continuous increase in the scale and quantity of cybercrime and other offences involving electronic evidence, with associated technical challenges, with issues related to cloud computing and jurisdiction, including links to organised crime, and with challenges facing the system of mutual legal assistance. The COVID-19 pandemic is accompanied by further proliferation of cybercrime.

This underlines the need for effective criminal justice action, making use of frameworks such as the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime and additional solutions, including those being developed for the Second Additional Protocol to permit instant cooperation in urgent and emergency situations subject to human rights and rule of law safeguards.

The formula of the Budapest Convention as the common standard backed up by the Cybercrime Convention Committee (T-CY) and capacity building through Cybercrime Programme Office (C-PROC) continues to ensure impact. With the future Second Additional Protocol on enhanced cooperation and disclosure of electronic evidence, the mechanism of the Budapest Convention is likely to remain the most relevant international standard for years to come.

Parliamentarians, both as advocates and as lawmakers, fully mobilized, can make a substantive and decisive impact in promoting universality and implementation of the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime and its First Additional Protocol on Xenophobia and Racism, as well as generating wider awareness of the forthcoming Second Additional Protocol, accompanied by necessary safeguards to ensure adequate privacy and data protections, as appropriate.

The concept of cyberviolence covers an extreme breadth of issues (harassment, violation of privacy, sexual abuse and exploitation, bias crimes against social groups or communities, direct threats and physical violence, forms of cybercrime). Some of them – such as cyberbullying, sexting, online child sexual abuse and exploitation – will be discussed during the Regional Conference.

With the increasing number of incidences where these crimes have an element of cybercrime or electronic evidence, there is a growing need for judges and prosecutors to understand the nature of these crimes and also to be aware of the legislation and international cooperation instruments available to deal with the respective cases, as well as the implications of dealing with electronic evidence. Some of the international instruments, such as the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime, the Lanzarote Convention on the Protection of Children against Sexual Exploitation and Sexual Abuse, or the Istanbul Convention on Violence against Women, provide solutions and answers to these challenges and can serve as a guide for any country wishing to address the phenomenon of cyber-violence and electronic evidence.

Cybercrime is a transnational phenomenon by its nature and requires a rapid and effective international cooperation between criminal justice authorities of states for qualification of the offences, identification of the procedural powers to be used and jurisdictions that apply to different illegal activities. Moreover, the quick access to data that is stored for limited time on the IT infrastructure rely on international and domestic legal tools available in the countries for the cooperation with the private sector.

The misuse of information technology by offenders not only in cybercrime activities are posing great challenges for criminal justice authorities and to the rule of law. Therefore, with the raise of offences involving computers and electronic evidence, effective countermeasures to enhance international judicial cooperation in cybercrime cases in a consistent and harmonized manner is essential. Eurojust and the Council of Europe have agreed to join forces to tackle this problem inter alia through capacity building.

Organized jointly by Eurojust and the Council of Europe (C-PROC), the event aims to present the challenges of operational cooperation and how they can be addressed through the establishment of JITs or joint investigations when the conditions for JITs are not met. Moreover, the event is expected to introduce the new legal tools offered by the Second Additional Protocol to the Budapest Convention on enhanced international cooperation between states and how they complement the existing ones. Therefore, countries will be invited to express the benefits and potential difficulties to implement them at the national level.

Bullying is a worldwide problem, with negative and sometimes fatal consequences. The increased use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has taken bullying online and there is a blurring of the line between bullying offline and cyber-bullying. In addition, the anonymity of the internet has scaled up the dimension of violence seen in bullying, and acts of cyber-bullying increasingly fall into the realm of criminal offences which necessitate the involvement of law enforcement.

The purpose of this webinar is to shed light on the role of law enforcement in the fight against cyber-bullying. This webinar will bring together speakers working on cyber-bullying from different angles: prevention initiatives, legal measures and law enforcement investigations, child protection mechanisms and psychological support. In particular, this webinar will provide guidance to law enforcement and other relevant actors to identify cases of cyberbullying in need of a criminal investigation, to be aware of existing prevention measures, and to be mindful of the psychological aspects relating to both victims and bullies.

The Covid-19 pandemic impacts individuals and societies and therefore many areas rely more than ever on the technology. Criminals also see the opportunity to adapt to the changes that occur in society and in relation to their potential victims and, as the pandemic didn’t disappear overnight, they also shifted their criminal activities to the online world.

Children are also vulnerable to the increasing online threats being more present on the Internet given that also school classes are conducted remotely.
