Keynote presentations (Grand Hall - Section B) - New instruments for cross-border cooperation in accessing e-evidence: are we hitting rock bottom?
On both sides of the Atlantic, last year was marked by the development of legislative tools on transborder access to e-evidence, widely criticized by privacy advocates, national governments, and academics. The US Cloud Act, enacted in 2018, and the EU E-Evidence proposal, put forward in April of the same year, started processes that have been characterized as an arms race to dismantle existing safeguards to access data and content in global information networks. Both instruments try to re-design the existing regime of mutual legal assistance by providing the tools for requesting data directly from communications providers without judicial authorization in the country where the request is sent. In fact, the new instruments turn private entities into de-facto judicial authorities: it imposes the obligation to provide data upon legal requests coming from foreign law enforcement with no verification of such demands against privacy safeguards on the national level. The frustration felt by legislators and law enforcement is understandable. Mutual legal assistance is slow because it requires due process and safeguards. However, are the shortcuts proposed by the Cloud Act and the EU E-Evidence draft directive helpful? What are the dangers of the approach they propose, and what should be done instead to improve fighting crime online while safeguarding the privacy of users and following due process? The presentation will provide insights into the content of these new legislative proposals, discuss their shortcoming, and propose the way forward to improve trans-border cooperation in accessing electronic evidence.

Keynote presentations (Grand Hall - Section B) - Access to electronic evidence: Way forward to the Second Additional Protocol to the Budapest Convention
The purpose of the lecture and the presentation is to provide a brief overview of the problems that practitioners have been facing concerning timely access to electronic evidence stored abroad. The Budapest Convention as the only legally binding international instrument on cybercrime and electronic evidence already provides some solutions, but these are not sufficient considering the latest developments of the ICT. The Cybercrime Convention Committee has started work in order to find solutions already several years ago. In 2017 negotiations of the Second Additional Protocol to the Budapest Convention started. The Protocol would provide answers and solutions to the problems that have been identified. However, drafting such a new instrument is not an easy task and requires also cooperation with all the stakeholders.

Biography
Tatiana Tropina is a senior researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Foreign and International Criminal Law in the Information Law and Legal Informatics Section. Her current areas of research include international standards to fight cybercrime, the comparative analysis of cybercrime legislation, self- and co-regulation, public-private partnerships to address cybersecurity issues, and the multi-stakeholder approach to fight cybercrime. Tatiana Tropina’s background includes both academic and practical experience. She has been conducting cybercrime research for more than 12 years, starting in Russia in 2002, where she became the first Russian researcher to defend a PhD thesis on cybercrime (2005). From 2002 to 2009, she was responsible for cybercrime projects at the regional subdivision of the Transnational Crime and Corruption Centre (George Mason University, USA) in Vladivostok, Russia. At the same time, from 2003 to 2008, she worked full-time as a lawyer and then as head of the legal departments of a number of telecommunication companies. In 2008, she won the British Chevening Scholarship to study telecommunications management at Strathclyde University, Glasgow. In 2009, she was awarded a German Chancellor Fellowship (Alexander von Humboldt Foundation) and moved to Germany to pursue her research on legal frameworks for cybercrime. Since 2009, Tatiana Tropina has been involved in both legal research and various applied cybercrime projects at the international level. This activity includes such projects as drafting model legislation on the interception of communication for the Caribbean states and adapting it via stakeholder consultations (ITU-EU project, 2010) and carrying out a cybercrime study for the Global Symposium of Regulators (ITU, 2010). Recently, she served as a consultant to the UNODC Comprehensive Cybercrime Study (2012-2013) and to the World Bank (World Development Report 2016).
