GLACY+ and Octopus Project: The Second Additional Protocol to the Budapest Convention – 2nd Webinar in the series for countries in Latin America

On 8 February 2022, the GLACY+ and the Octopus Project organised the second webinar from a series of four thematic webinars on the Introduction of the Second Additional Protocol to the Budapest Convention on enhanced cooperation and disclosure of electronic evidence.

This webinar was attended by 50 representatives of civil society, data protection experts, criminal justice authorities and legislators of Colombia, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru and aimed at providing an overview on the rationale, process of negotiation and provisions of the Second Additional Protocol.

The participants became familiar with the new tools and procedures, safeguards and conditions brought forward by the Second Additional Protocol and on the way its mechanism can be applied for effective access to electronic evidence and protection of victims. This knowledge will further facilitate the implementation of the new international legal standards into the domestic legislation of the participating countries.
