MINISTRY OF SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS Figure 2 Topics Treated by the Laws of Costa Rica Concerning Informatics Crimes Source: Own Elaboration, 2016. Legislation on cybernetic crime should consider the national context, international conventions, mechanisms for enabling inter-institutional and multi-jurisdictional investigation and the greater complexity of technological advances. Costa Rica has legislation related to informatics crimes; notwithstanding, as the sophistication of these crimes changes, there should be a process dedicated to its review and updating to ensure there is the authority necessary to investigate and process it effectively. Adherence to the Convention on Cybernetic Crime (also known as Budapest Convention) is a fact and discussions are on the way within of the Judicial Power for the training of judges and prosecutors in cybernetic crime matters. However, in achieving those goals, a distinction should be made between the technical capacity to detect and identify vulnerabilities and the procedural tools necessary so that law enforcement agencies effectively investigate cybernetic crimes (taking into account the speed and transient nature of digital data). The roles and responsibilities of the Internet services suppliers should be considered, as well as any other actor active in cyberspace; also balancing these actions with the need to respect the fundamental human rights while collecting digital evidence. So, given the nature of the digital world it’s necessary to count with the corresponding mechanisms to ensure the periodical review and update of informatics crimes legislation. - 33 www.micitt.go.cr
