The 2018 International Symposium on Technology Investigation and Human Rights Protection organized by the Academy for the Judiciary was held at the auditorium of the Academy on 31st October and 1st November 2018. Mr. Virgil IVAN-CUCU, Senior Lecturer of the European Centre for Judges and Lawyers of the European Institute of Public Administration (EIPA), and Mr. André Charles VANDOREN, Senior Deputy Prosecutor General in Brussels, Belgium, were invited as guest speakers to talk about “Criminal Justice and Digital Evidence in Cyberspace” and “the Impact of the Use of Technology in Organized Crime, Radicalism, Extremism and Terrorism.” President Pi-Yu Tsai of the Academy and Prosecutor-General Hui-Ming Chiang of the Supreme Prosecutors Office served as the moderators of the respective sessions. Professor Rong-Geng Li from the Department of Law of National Taipei University, Attorney Qi-Xin Ye from DaVinci Personal Data and High-Tech Law Firm, Professor Heng-Da Hsu from the College of Law of National Chengchi University, and Deputy Director-General Mou-Xin Huang of the Department of Prosecutorial Affairs of the Ministry of Justice were invited as panelists. As the digital investigation has now become an issue of great concern and importance to the society, the event attracted active participation from legal professionals in the field, including judges, prosecutors, lawyers, academics, judicial police officers, investigators, and the Academy's Class 59 trainees. Approximately 200 participants signed up for the conference and engaged in the in-depth discussions. During the opening remarks, President Tsai of the Academy indicated that the modus operandi and types of cybercrime have continued to evolve and transform, posing substantial threats to public security and people’s lives and assets in every country and presenting a great challenge to existing legal systems as well as investigation skills of transnational crime. In this light, the conference sought to draw on the two speakers’ expertise in investigations, prosecution, trials for complicated cross-border crimes, cybercrime, and terrorism, learn from the practical experiences of the panelists and exchange legal opinions, to facilitate the development of law enforcement and legislation in the future. In his closing speech, Minister Tsai emphasized that combating cybercrime, enhancing national cybersecurity, and preventing terrorism have long been the focus of the criminal policy of the Ministry of Justice. Despite the difficult “status quo” in the international arena, Taiwan will continue its effort to promote detection and prevention of cybercrime and terrorist activities and enhance protection of human rights by working with other countries through formal mutual legal assistance or informal collaboration. After the two-day conference concluded, President Tsai gave the two speakers a tour of the Academy and the facilities. The Academy’s quality teaching environment and achievements were highly recognized. The foreign guests also highly praised the professionalism of the conference staff and well-organized meeting planning. Hopefully, there will be more opportunities for cooperation and exchange between two sides in the future.
