Octopus project – CYBERKOP action: Specialised judicial training course on international cooperation on cybercrime and electronic evidence

The specialised judicial training course on international cooperation on cybercrime and electronic evidence is delivered under the CYBERKOP Action of the Octopus Project, between 23 to 25 April 2024, in Pristina.

 

Addressed to prosecutors, representatives of the Academy of Justice and domestic trainers, the course aims to further develop their knowledge and skills on the international legal standards, as well as, tools and channels for international cooperation in cybercrime cases and exchanging of electronic evidence offered by the Convention on Cybercrime (Budapest Convention) and its Second Additional Protocol.

 

The training provides the participants with the opportunity to practice the use of T-CY templates for requesting data preservation and mutual legal assistance for subscriber information, to get familiar with the provisions of Budapest Convention regarding spontaneous information and to learn about relevant EU instruments for international cooperation, such as European Investigation Order, European Arrest Warrant and Joint Investigation Team.

 

Under CYBERKOP Action, the Cybercrime Programme Office will continue to support the reinforcement of capacities of criminal justice authorities for ensuring an adequate response to online offences and better protection of human rights in the on-line environment.

Fifty practitioners to enhance skills in provision of occupational therapy

Following the adoption of the Guidelines for Occupational Therapy (OT), as well as the Training of Trainers (ToT) on OT that took place in January 2024, three 2-day cascade training sessions were organised in the course of February and March 2024.  Fifty professionals, mainly from the Prison Health Department, along with representatives from the Correctional Services, Institute for Forensic Psychiatry, and the Special Institute for Persons with Mental and Physical Disabilities, were trained on this important form of therapy.

To complement the theoretical aspects and provide the trainees with practical knowledge, some of the sessions were conducted in the Dubrava Prison, in a section which houses prisoners with both mental and somatic problems. This on-site training allowed the participants to observe and understand the application of OT principles in a real-life setting, thus enhancing their learning experience by connecting theory and practice.

These cascade training sessions allowed the participants to further improve their skills in applying the OT Guidelines and tools in prisons and other closed institutions, a concept which was thus far not utilised in a structured manner. Furthermore, training healthcare and correctional professionals together helps them further strengthen the inter-institutional cooperation in the treatment and rehabilitation of some of the most vulnerable members of the society.

Each of these sessions were facilitated by two trainers who had participated in the ToT in January and were supervised and mentored by a Council of Europe consultant who has been involved in the process since the very beginning, thus further strengthening institutional capacity to provide training.

The activity was conducted under the auspices of the Council of Europe project “Improvement of the treatment of persons deprived of liberty”.
