Back CyberEast: Webinar on Cybersecurity and Human Rights

CyberEast: Webinar on Cybersecurity and Human Rights

Cybersecurity policies and practice should, in principle, protect, support and affirm enjoyment of human rights and fundamental freedoms in cyberspace, rather than reinforce “security versus freedom” mentality. This was the main theme of discussion during the joint Webinar on Cybersecurity and Human Rights, held as a cooperative effort between CybersecurityEAST project funded by the European Union and CyberEast project funded by the European Union and the Council of Europe.

Bringing together experts from Croatia, Estonia and Germany, the Webinar explored the issues of necessary regulation for human rights in cyberspace, finding the right balance by linking to practice under Article 15 of the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime, and the role of private entities in ensuring these rights and freedoms. Impact of COVID-19 on the situation with safeguards and guarantees was another highlight of discussions during the event.

These series of global webinars will be continued in 2021 under CyberEast and other projects implemented by the Cybercrime Programme Office.
