On 23 and 30 March, two workshops were held under the framework of the GLACY+ project with the aim of consolidating the support on cybercrime and electronic legislation in Nauru, following the assessment initiated in October 2022.
Council of Europe experts provided their recommendations on both substantive and procedural powers provisions, as well as on international cooperation on cybercrime after examining Nauru’s laws and identifying the gaps and the elements that can be improved. During these two workshops, the country’s judicial authorities had the opportunity to raise questions, exchange views and give feedback on the recommendations received, so the implementation process of the concerned amendments into the domestic legislation be smooth and clear.
Nauru’s authorities are now in the process of reforming and amending several cybercrime related acts and laws and the Council of Europe support was therefore instrumental. Similar assistance workshops may be further organised in order to raise awareness on the benefits and impact of acceding to the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime and other international instruments.
