Papua New Guinea Cybercrime Policy 2014 3.3.1     Training  of  law  enforcement  agencies,  judiciary,  and  the  prosecution       Government  acknowledges  the  impact  and  rapid  changing  pace  of  ICT  development.  In   light   of   this   government   further   recognises   that   the   current   status   of   relevant   law   enforcement  is  not  adequately  skilled  and  equipped  to  effectively  address  cybercrime.     To   this   end   government   sees   the   need   to   adequately   train   relevant   law   enforcement   agencies  in  the  prevention  of  and  combating  cybercrime.           3.3.2   Institutional  and  Infrastructure  development         In  addition  to  equipping  relevant  law  enforcement  agencies,  it  is  equally  important  that   the  relevant  institutions  and  infrastructures  are  created  and  appropriately  equipped  to   enable  law  enforcement  personnel  to  effectively  investigate  and  prosecute  offenders.     This   would   include   the   establishment   of   a   Cybercrime   unit   within   the   Police   Force,   an   adequately  resourced  forensics  laboratory,  technically  sound  logistical  support  and  well   fitted  Courts  for  dealing  with  electronic  evidence.     4.   Regional  and  International  Cooperation     The   Government   recognises   the   global   impacts   of   cybercrime.   Regional   and   international   cooperation   and   coordination   through   relevant   institutions,   treaties   and   conventions,  is  therefore  an  important  aspect  in  collectively  dealing  with  cybercrime.       Therefore,   it   is   necessary   to   review   our   current   affiliations   and   improve   ongoing   collaboration   with   regional   and   international   partners   in   preventing   and   combating   cybercrime.     To   strengthen   existing   regional   and   international   cooperation   and   coordination,   the   Government   recognises   the   need   to   accede   to   and   or   ratify   certain   international   conventions  and  treaties  on  Cybercrime  to  enable  their  applicability  and  enforceability   in   Papua   New   Guinea.     When   participating   in   such   conventions   and   treaties,   the   Government  is  fully  cognizant  of  Papua  New  Guinean  cultural  and  traditional  values.           5.   Electronic  Evidence   5.1       Review   or   development   of   national   laws   to   recognise   admissibility   of   electronic   evidence     The   collection   and   production   of   electronic   evidence   in   Court   is   presented   with   a   number   of   challenges17.   One   of   the   main   challenges   is   the   admissibility   of   electronic   evidence   in   the   Courts   to   successfully   prosecute   offences.     Very   often,   the   ability   to                                                                                                                           17    Casey,  Digital  Evidence  and  Computer  Crime,  2004,  page  9.     P | 19
