OAS Begins Workshop on Legal Cooperation against Cyber Crimes for Judges from Central America, Mexico and the Dominican Republic
March 24, 2015
The Organization of American States (OAS) today opened in Guatemala a training workshop on legal cooperation against cyber crime designed from judges and magistrates from Central America and the Dominican Republic.
The event provides training in the scope and context of international cyber-crime standards and conventions, legal resources available, the handling of electronic evidence, procedural cybercrime legislation, and the importance of international legal cooperation in the prosecution and punishment of cybercrime. The participants – judges and magistrates from Guatemala, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Panama and the Dominican Republic – will also take part in a mock oral-trial proceeding demonstrating the important role of and admissibility of electronic evidence in criminal prosecutions.
The inauguration of the event featured the participation of the President of the Judiciary and the Supreme Court of Guatemala, Josué Felipe Baquiax Baquiaz; the OAS Representative in Guatemala, Milagro Martínez de Torres-Chico; the President of the Criminal Chamber of the Supreme Court of Guatemala, Blanca Aída Stalling Dávila; and ambassadors and members of the diplomatic corps accredited in Guatemala, among others.
The workshop, organized by the OAS Department of Legal Cooperation of the Secretariat for Legal Affairs, together with the United States Department of Justice, through its Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS), is the twenty-third workshop to be held under the framework of the OAS Cyber-Crime Training Program, in fulfillment of the recommendations adopted by the Working Group on Cyber-crime of the REMJA process (Meetings of Ministers of Justice or Other Ministers or Attorneys General of the Americas).
This is the second in a series of training workshops provided by the OAS Cyber-Crime Training Program that are specifically directed to judges, magistrates and the members of the judicial branch in the OAS member states, with similar events to be carried out during 2015 for other sub-regions and member states.
