Summary
Effectively preventing bating cyber crime requires a coordinated
international approach at different levels. At the domestic level, the investigation of
cyber crime requires adequate staff, expertise and procedures. States are encouraged
to consider mechanisms that enable the timely and accurate securing of data from
computer systems works, should data be required as evidence in legal
proceedings. At the international level, investigating cyber crime requires timely action,
facilitated by coordination between national law enforcement agencies and the
enactment of appropriate legal authority.
In addition to and in support of the international initiatives already taken, the
present paper considers the means for the exchange of technical and forensic expertise
between national law enforcement authorities, as well as the need for international
deliberations on present and future legal measures for international cooperation in the
investigation of cyber crime.
