On 1-2 April 2024, the Council of Europe supported the organisation of a dedicated high-level training on cybercrime and electronic evidence for the Supreme Court of Mauritius. The activity was organised in the framework of the GLACY-e joint project of the European Union and the Council of Europe, and the Council of Europe's Octopus Project based on voluntary contributions.
The course aimed at providing a basic understanding of the core concepts of cybercrime and electronic evidence and addressed also domestic specificities crafted based on the needs expressed by the Mauritian Justices. Topics such as artificial intelligence and deepfake as well as case studies, landmark decisions in the field were presented to the participants. The meeting stimulated discussions and debates amongst the participants on how to effectively apply the law and on the benefits of the country considering that Mauritius is Party to the Convention on Cybercrime (Budapest Convention).
