This handbook was tailored to the user requirements of Europe’s Computer Security Incident Response Team (CSIRT) community. RAND Europe and Lawfort were invited to update this first version of the Handbook, to take into account the recent developments in the legal framework in the EU and more importantly, to extend its scope to cover the situation in the 10 new Member States which joined the European Union on 1st May 2004. The MODINIS work programme supports this activity under the heading of “favouring co-ordination between CSIRTs.” This project is also undertaken as a preparatory activity for the newly formed European Network and Information Security Agency (ENISA). This is the final report of the 2005 EC-CSIRT Legal Handbook of Legal Procedures of Computer and Network Misuse in EU Countries for Assisting Computer Security Incident Response Teams (CSIRTS): hereafter ‘2005 CSIRT Legal Handbook’. In detail, the CSIRT Legal Handbook provides user-friendly access to up to date information on rules and regulations concerning computer misuse and the collection and reporting of computer evidence currently in force in all 25 EU countries, together with guidelines as to when and how law enforcement must be informed of incidents. The project will update the taxonomy, review and analyse standard enquires and reporting needs, survey national legal frameworks and relevant industrial initiatives and provide a user friendly electronic application for modifying and updating the information. Project co-ordination and management, the user survey and design and implementation of the electronic applicaition was conducted by RAND Europe, an independent not-for- profit policy research organisation that serves the public interest by improving policymaking and informing public debate. Lawfort, a leading and independent Belgian law firm (www.lawfort.be) with offices Brussels, Antwerp, Ghent and Liège, conducted and managed the contributions of national legal correspondents across the EU under the leadership of Professor Jos Dumortier.

  • Trafficking in Human Beings
    TemaNord 2014:526 TemaNord Ved Stranden 18 DK-1061 Copenhagen K www.norden.org Trafficking in Human Beings Report from a conference on Identification of victims and criminals Trafficking in Human Beings – why we do not notice them In the Nordic countries, most of the reported cases of trafficking in human beings today concern women and girls trafficked for sexual exploitation, but experiences from Europe indicate that human trafficking has increased also in farming, household work, construction, and house building, as well as in begging, shoplifting and thefts. The conference Identification of victims and criminals – why we do not notice them on 30–31 May 2013 in Tallinn, Estonia formed the conclusion of a Nordic-Baltic-Northwest Russian cooperation project. Around 80 participants attended the two-day conference to discuss ways of identifying victims and criminals and to find answer to the question of why we do not notice victims or criminals, even though we now have available to us facts, figures, research and knowledge about human trafficking as a part of international organized crime.

    CPT/Inf (2018) 17 Response of the Government of Cyprus to the report of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT) on its visit to Cyprus from 2 to 9 February 2017 The Government of Cyprus has requested the publication of this response. The CPT’s report on the February 2017 visit to Cyprus is set out in document CPT/Inf (2018) 16. Strasbourg, 26 April 2018 Response by the Government of Cyprus to the report on the visit of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (CPT) to Cyprus (2 to 9 February 2017) The Republic of Cyprus welcomes the recommendations of the Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment. The competent authorities have carefully studied the recommendations, which will be duly considered in the efforts to improve the treatment of persons deprived of their liberty, with a view to strengthening, where necessary, the protection of such persons. Cyprus remains committed to its dialogue with the Committee for the prevention of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. I. INTRODUCTION D. National Preventive Mechanism Recommendation par. 9, page 10 -11 The CPT recommends that the Cypriot authorities significantly increase the resources allocated to the Office of the Ombudsman to enable it to carry out its NPM functions effectively, along with a dedicated and sufficient budget. Enhancing the capacity of the Office of the Ombudsman has been one of the priorities of the Cypriot authorities, who have sought external expertise on how best to proceed.

Banyu Perwita, PhD Zoltán Nagy Lieutenant-Colonel János Hegedűs First Edition, June 2007 Layout Front Cover Lebanese-Israeli Borders Downloaded from: www.michaelcotten.com Printed by Copyright DCAF & LESPERSSI, 2007 The Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces FOREWORD Suripto, SH Vice Chairman of 3rd Commission, Indonesian House of Representatives And Chariman of Lesperssi Founder Board Border issues have been one of the largest areas of concern for Indonesia. Since becoming a sovereign state 61 years ago, Indonesia is still facing a series of territorial border problems. Up until today, Indonesia has reached agreements with its neighbouring countries related to demarcation and state border delineation. However, the lack of an unequivocal authority for border management has left serious implications for the state’s sovereignty and its citizen’s security. The Indonesian border of today, is still having to deal with border crime, which includes the violation of the territorial border, smuggling and terrorist infiltration, illegal fishing, illegal logging and Human Rights violations. These kinds of violations have also made a serious impact on the state’s sovereignty and citizen’s security. As of today, Indonesia still has an ‘un-settled’ sea territory, with regard to the rights of sovereignty (Additional Zone, Economic Exclusive Zone, and continent plate). This frequently provokes conflict between the authorised sea-territory officer on patrol and foreign ships or fishermen from neighbouring countries. One of the principal border problems is the Sipadan-Ligitan dispute between Indonesia and Malaysia, which started in 1969.
