Session teaser

The Convention on cybercrime (Budapest convention) was drawn by the Council of Europe in peacetime, but it has already proved and continues to prove its efficiency in terms of military conflicts.

Session description

Electronic evidence is one of key elements of the Budapest convention and especially of the Second Additional Protocol to the Cybercrime Convention on enhanced co-operation and disclosure of electronic evidence (CETS No. 224). In time of war electronic evidence plays an even more critical role than in peacetime. During the flash session the theoretical provisions of the Convention on cybercrime will be aligned with practical cases from Ukraine.
