On 15 – 23 January September, the GLACY+ and GLACY-e project, in co-operation with the Department of Justice – Office of Cybercrime (DOJ-OOC) and the Supreme Court of the Philippines, organised the Refresher course on cybercrime and electronic evidence for around 20 national trainers in Manila, the Philippines.
The training aimed to consolidate and enhance the knowledge of the participants on technology, cybercrime legislation and international cooperation, but also ensuring sustainability of the overall judicial training curricula on cybercrime.
On the margins of the training, the project team met Chief Justice Alexander G. Gesmundo, who stressed the importance of “having a sustainable training strategy, along with effective laws and policies, (...) in responding to the major and growing threat of cybercrime”.
The Philippines will serve as the capacity-building hub for Southeast Asia under the GLACY-e project, which aims to capacitate judicial authorities and law enforcement officers in handling cybercrime and cyber-related cases. The project will continue working with the Department of Justice – Office of Cybercrime (DOJ-OOC) and the Supreme Court to ensure the self-sustainability of the training system in the region.
