On 8 August 2024, during the reconvened concluding session of the United Nations Ad Hoc Committee (#AHC), meeting in New York, agreement was reached on the “𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐟𝐭 𝐔𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐍𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐭 #𝐜𝐲𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞; 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐛𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐦𝐞𝐚𝐧𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐲 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐟 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐜 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐬”. The draft text of the treaty will soon be submitted to the UN General Assembly for formal adoption. Reaching agreement on this complex matter is an important achievement. Through our #CPROC office, the Council of Europe supported this treaty process from 2022 in order to ensure consistency with the 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐂𝐲𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐦𝐞 (𝐁𝐮𝐝𝐚𝐩𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧) and the inclusion of a minimum of necessary #humanrights and #ruleoflaw safeguards. Key provisions of the #BudapestConvention have been reproduced in the draft treaty but concerns remain regarding safeguards given positions expressed by some States. During the AHC process, numerous countries became Parties or sought accession to the Budapest Convention. This is an indication of good prospects for 𝐬𝐲𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐬 and benefits that States may draw from both treaties.

This week, the Philippines became the 70th country to connect to INTERPOL’s International Child Sexual Exploitation (ICSE) database. INTERPOL, in the framework of our #GLACYe joint project of the European Union and the Council of Europe, organised a five-day training program that connected the Philippines to the ICSE database and provided training on the use of the International Child Sexual Exploitation Database (ICSE) and Victim Identification. The training was delivered by INTERPOL’s Crimes against Children (CAC) Unit during 8-12 July 2024 in Manila, Philippines. Twelve law enforcement officers with responsibility for investigation of #OCSEA participated in the training program from the National Center Bureau (NCB), Women and Children Protection Centre (WCPC) of the Philippines National Police (PNP), National Bureau of Investigation Anti Human Trafficking Division (NBIATHRAD) from the Department of Justice (DoJ) and AntiCyber Crime Group (ACG) of Philippines National Police. ICSE has been operational since 2009 and is a powerful intelligence and investigation tool. It offers specialised investigators worldwide instant access to data and tools for upload and analysis of seized child sexual exploitation material (CSEM).

On 17 June, preceding the Cybercrime Convention Committee’s 30th plenary (#TCY), our CyberEast+ colleagues organised a fruitful Planning meeting in Strasbourg. A joint endeavour of the Council of Europe and of the European Union formally commenced on 1 March 2024 with a budget of 3.9 million EUR, the CyberEast+ project focuses on ensuring effective criminal justice response to cybercrime and electronic evidence and increased cyber-resilience. Project countries were convened to discuss objectives and the current workplan. Stronger interaction with training institutions, use of tools for selection and engagement of participants, as well as joint development of activity outlines, were among the themes emphasised during the meeting. The key takeaways showed that the CyberEast+ project is committed to ensuring that its activities are better tailored to the needs of Eastern Partnership stakeholders through more engaged planning and shared ownership of the action.
