The Council of Europe – through the Octopus Project – contributed to the 23rd edition of the International Symposium on Cybercrime Response (ISCR), that was held from 13 to 15 September 2023 in Seoul, South Korea. Organised by the Korean National Police Agency (KNPA), the ISCR provided once again an excellent opportunity to share experience with experts from different regions of the world, including on possible synergies between the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime and the additional international treaty that is currently being negotiated by a United Nations Ad Hoc Committee.
As the Republic of Korea was invited to accede to the Budapest Convention in February 2023, the visit of the delegation of the Cybercrime Convention Committee (T-CY) also provided an opportunity to discuss progress towards accession with counterparts of the Korean Ministry of Justice, KNPA and Supreme Prosecution Office.
