Item A NEOLIBERAL ANALYSIS OF INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION WITH MULTINATIONAL SERVICE PROVIDERS: THE ROLE AND EFFECT OF THE COUNCIL OF EUROPE’S CONVENTION ON CYBERCRIME ON FIGHTING AGAINST TRANSBORDER CRIMES(2021-10-18) AKIN AKILLI, Fatma; ELİKÜÇÜK YILDIRIM, NilgünConvention on Cybercrime which has completely focused on fighting against cybercrimes with more parties compared to the other international initiatives has been prepared with the special contributions of several countries and expert groups and it is also going to celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2021. In addition to that, with the changing crime trends works of the Experts Group, which consists of representatives of stakeholders, it maintains its existence as an agreement that lives in periods. The history of internet crimes in other words cybercrimes dates back to the invention of the internet. The advantages of the virtual environment of the internet such as being able to anonym or can reaching out to any part of the world without any extra endeavor, have been misused by criminals. In addition, the delusion of criminals, like staying anonymous causes raising devastating effects of cybercrimes. Almost free unlimited and instant communication/interaction offered by multinational service providers to their users, combined with the anonymity advantage of individuals, leads to an increase in crimes on these platforms. The importance of digital evidence to prevent crime before it happens or finding the real actors after the crime occurred increases and this situation makes the countries dependent on each other. While for service providers, having a secure platform becomes important, for states, protecting their citizens, ensuring national security and preventing economic loss caused by online crimes become important. Also on the one hand, while the need of collecting electronic evidence obliges these companies and expert police units to work harmoniously, on the other hand, the political problems in the international arena cause a serious slowdown of investigations. Even in some instances, these problems cause rescission of the cases. In this context, the importance of international agreements concluded by a wide range of parties becomes important each passing day.
