New technologies and their relevance to legal cooperation
In August 2023, the CJI adopted a report on "new
technologies and their relevance for international
jurisdictional cooperation" which includes a
Guide to Best Practices in Jurisdictional Cooperation for the
Americas, which recommends mechanisms to make cooperation
procedures between the inter-American conventions in force more
efficient, with the main aim of serving legal operators, both
judges and lawyers, without prejudice to regulatory advances
that may arise, in the light of technological progress.
The Guide identifies 32 rules aimed at updating
jurisdictional cooperation using communication and information
technologies, without modifying or replacing the existing rules
within conventional, legal and regulatory texts, based on a
practical interpretation of the norm.
In addressing this topic, the Inter-American Juridical Committee
has examined the following background matter over the years:
