 Agenda

   Room 11

Pacific countries find themselves at various stages of implementation of cybercrime legislation. Some have recently passed standalone cybercrime legislation, some meet international standards through separate pieces of legislation, while others are only starting their cybercrime legal policy reform. This workshop builds on the ongoing work jointly with Pacific Islands Law Officer's Network (PILON) to draft a Handbook intended to support the Pacific Island jurisdictions to enact reforms on cybercrime and electronic evidence. It will explore the legal policy issues to be considered in the transposition of international frameworks as well how to successfully implement cybercrime legislation in the region.
