INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION ON CYBERCRIME – THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE PERSPECTIVE
Speaker: Matteo Lucchetti, Director of CYBER 4.0.
Affiliation: CYBER 4.0, National Cyber Security Competence Center.
Summary: When we refer to cybercrime we have to always keep in mind that we are talking – first of all – of a crime. And as such, of a criminal justice issue that needs to be addressed by criminal justice authorities.
The talk will address the importance of international cooperation in addressing cybercrime cases, with an overview of the main challenges faced by relevant authorities in cross-border investigations and access to electronic evidence.
A focus will be dedicated to the existing tools provided under the reference international treaty in the field, i.e. the Budapest Convention and its additional protocols. Some considerations will be also shared regarding human rights implications and the necessary safeguards that must be in place.
Finally, the level of adoption of the Convention will be also discussed, together with a snapshot of the other initiatives currently undertaken at the global level.
