This we recall that tackling the exploitation of technology by criminal groups and terrorists, to be at its most effective, goes hand in hand with protecting human rights and the rule of law.
Through the project Addressing the Exploitation of Technology and Online Spaces by Terrorist and Other Criminal Groups in South Asia, the EU and UNODC are supporting criminal justice authorities, including in Bangladesh, in responding to evolving digital threats.
From handling electronic evidence and cooperating with technology providers to addressing the misuse of AI and emerging technologies, the project is strengthening investigative capacities through legal assistance, specialised training and practical simulations.

With human rights’ safeguards embedded throughout. Because safe digital spaces include respect for privacy, due process and freedom of expression.
