CYBERCRIME AND INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION – CURRENT SCENARIO AND FUTURE PERSPECTIVES
Speaker: Matteo Lucchetti.
Affiliation: Cyber 4.0.
Summary: Faced to an ever-evolving cybercrime scenario, the criminal justice action has been experiencing increasing challenges, not only due to the technical nature of electronic evidence, but also to an uneven adoption of international legal frameworks for cross-country cooperation, and to the booming use of new technological paradigms, such as AI, that could facilitate the commission of criminal acts.
Through a few examples from notable cases, the talk will underline the importance of international cooperation, with an overview of the main instruments and tools that are available, provided under the reference international treaty in the field, i.e. the Budapest Convention and its additional protocols.
Some considerations will also be shared regarding human rights implications and the necessary safeguards that must be in place.
Finally, the Convention's adoption level will also be discussed, together with a snapshot of the other initiatives currently undertaken at the global level, and notably the Convention being finalized in the UN General Assembly, which is expected to be adopted in the end of 2024.
