Capacity-building initiatives related to cybercrime in focus at OSCE technical briefing
Capacity-building initiatives related to fighting cybercrime were the focus of a technical briefing held on 7 September 2021. The briefing was organized online and in-person by the OSCE in close co-operation with the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), Cybercrime Programme Office of the Council of Europe (C-PROC) and INTERPOL.
The aim of the briefing was to provide OSCE participating States and Partners for Co-operation with up-to-date information about current and future capacity-building initiatives for better addressing cybercrime. It also served as a venue for furthering continued co-ordination and collaboration at the international level.
The OSCE has a mandate to support its participating States in enhancing their criminal justice response to cybercrime, while upholding human rights, fundamental freedoms and the rule of law. The Organization focuses on capacity-building for law enforcement, promoting co-operation among participating States and fostering dialogue with the private sector and civil society.
