Cybercrime is a threat to human rights, democracy and the rule of law. Criminal justice authorities are confronted with a continuous increase in the scale and quantity of cybercrime and other offences involving electronic evidence, with associated technical challenges, with issues related to cloud computing and jurisdiction, including links to organised crime, and with challenges facing the system of mutual legal assistance. The COVID-19 pandemic is accompanied by further proliferation of cybercrime.
This underlines the need for effective criminal justice action, making use of frameworks such as the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime and additional solutions, including those being developed for the 2nd Additional Protocol[1] to permit instant cooperation in urgent and emergency situations subject to human rights and rule of law safeguards.

The topic
The increased use of new technologies by criminals to organize, plan and carry out illegal activities online put the spotlight on the use of electronic evidence in criminal investigations. The latter is crucial, not only for investigating cybercrime but any type of crime. The globalization of the communication infrastructure brings additional challenges for investigators as offenders, victims and electronic evidence may be located in multiple jurisdictions and conflicting national laws may apply to obtain such evidence.
The International Association of Prosecutors and the GLACY+ project of the Council of Europe and the European Commission are co-organising a thematic workshop to exchange views and share experiences on the existing and new forms of cooperation for effective access to electronic evidence.

Topic: Terry and Klara will do an overview of GCA and projects relevant to prosecutors.
The Global Cyber Alliance (GCA) is an international, cross-sector effort dedicated to eradicating cyber risk and improving our connected world.
After years of prosecuting cyber financial fraud crimes with no end in sight, the New York County District Attorney, Cyrus Vance, Jr., knew that there had to be a better way to confront the cybercrime epidemic. Prosecution was a critical treatment modality, but prevention was the cure. After discussions with William Pelgrin, founder of the MS-ISAC and former President & CEO of the Center for Internet Security (CIS), the concept of what is now known as GCA was developed and is the product of input from many leaders which, from the beginning, demonstrated a commitment to a collective effort. The two then reached out to their partners in the fight against cybercrime, the City of London Police Commissioner, Adrian Leppard (now former), and John Gilligan, Chairman of the Board for the Center for Internet Security (CIS), to understand what might be done. This resulted in a coalition to take on the uphill battle against cybercrime and a recognition that we need to come together as a global community to have a transformational impact on cybersecurity. With a bias towards action, the three organizations made their move. On September 16, 2015 the Global Cyber Alliance was formed to address systemic cyber risk through a proactive risk-based, solution-oriented approach to address and eradicate malicious cyber risks.

Prometea, Artificial Intelligence
Presenter: Denise Ciraudo, Public Prosecutors Office Buenos Aries, and Luis Cevasco, Deputy Attorney General
Date and Time: 17th of December 2019 at 15.00 Central European Time
The Topic: Prometea is an Artificial Intelligence that has been developed from the Public Prosecutor's Office of the CABA, and later as a project in the Laboratory of Innovation and Artificial Intelligence of the Law School of the University of Buenos Aires. This system is a suit "to measure" and in each one of the projects the necessary techniques are combined to arrive at a result. Each process is specific and each project has its own complexity, that is, it is not a canned system that can act in any organisation, but requires adapting to the specific challenge.
The system combines automation, natural language recognition, prediction, an intelligent detector tool, classification, among other techniques, along with other functions such as automatic time control from the incorporation of an intelligent calendar or the formal requirements controller . At the moment, the prediction (one of the most complex techniques), we use and apply in cases of the General Prosecutor's Office attached in the litigation, specifically in housing and public employment causes. In total there are 5 subjects in which he predicts, with an average success rate of 96%. And there are more than 300 causes that were signed using this system function.
Regarding criminal law, we have made a development to automate and optimise the causes of drunk driving, which are super standardisable; and currently, it is in the testing stage in cases of gender violence (where it optimises the process of crimes of breach of family assistance duties). Finally, we are working to apply it to the crime of child pornography. Although we have already automated the process with Prometea, the idea is to incorporate other techniques which allow you to identify certain situations automatically. Recently, there was a publication in an Argentine newspaper about this project: https://www.lanacion.com.ar/seguridad/inteligencia-artificial-cada-vez-mas-una-her Tool-para-resolver-delitos-complejos- nid2294733.
In the Colombian Court, we have used it as an intelligent detector: the Colombian Court receives approximately 2700 guardianship actions per day for review and they have a group of people who are responsible for reading and prioritising / classifying them. Promises, based on the OCR technique, it automatically reads the first and second instance sentences of those cases and determines in less than 2 minutes, which are the most urgent cases or that the Court should treat with priority. We are currently working to scale the system to the rest of the issues for the coming months.
We have presented these developments at the IAP and the following: United Nations (Vienna and Geneva), the United Nations AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva, the State Council French, Paris, Sorbonne University, Oxford University, the Administrative Court of Lombardy, University of Milan and Bologna, the Agency for fundamental rights of the European Union, among others. In the US, at the Inter-American Development Bank, with whom we face a joint project called "Connect Intelligences", where we map all the projects of the Western world of AI that are related to the 16 sustainable development goals of the OECD, and in the Permanent Council of the Organisation of American States. In Latin America, in the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, the Constitutional Court of Colombia, the Universidad del Rosario, before the Judicial Power of Peru, in the Public Ministry of Sao Paulo, among other organisations. And of course, in Argentina as well including universities and public offices.
Please look at the website of the Laboratory of Innovation and Artificial Intelligence of the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Law School of the UBA, where you will find information on the most relevant Prometea projects: https://ialab.com.ar/.

The EU Commission’s proposal to improve cross-border access to electronic evidence within the EU
Presenter: Dr Jean-Baptiste Maillart
Description: The importance of electronic evidence in criminal proceedings is rapidly growing. Almost any criminal offense today leaves digital trace that can later on serve as evidence before a court. From a territorial point of view, electronic evidence are very often stored on servers and in data centers in foreign countries or somewhere in the “cloud” in an unknown location. As a result, law enforcement authorities are increasingly confronted with situations in which they need to collect electronic evidence stored outside their territory. However, the problem is that traditional collection mechanisms, such as unilateral transborder access or mutual legal assistance mechanisms, are not suitable for seeking digital evidence abroad and therefore often prove unsatisfactory regarding cyber-investigations. In this context, the EU Commission published on 17 April 2018 a proposal to improve cross-border access to electronic evidence within the EU. This proposal, which takes the form of a Directive and a Regulation, includes a set of rules under which a competent authority in a Member State can order a service provider offering its services in the EU, but established or represented in another Member State, to produce or preserve electronic evidence, regardless of the location of the data. In addition, the proposal provides legal safeguards and remedies as well as an obligation for service providers to designate a legal representative in the EU who will be in charge to comply with the aforementioned orders. The presentation will provide a thorough description and analysis of the proposal.
