Why each option
The Budapest Convention (Convention on Cybercrime) is organized into four chapters, and Chapter III specifically governs international cooperation, including mutual assistance and extradition.
Chapter II addresses measures to be taken at the national level, covering substantive criminal law and procedural law requirements, not international cooperation.
Chapter IV contains the final provisions of the convention, addressing matters such as signatures, entry into force, and accession by non-member states.
Chapter III of the Budapest Convention covers International Co-operation and contains Articles 23 through 35, which establish the rules for mutual assistance between signatory nations and the conditions under which extradition applies to cybercrime offenses. This chapter is the treaty's primary mechanism for cross-border law enforcement collaboration. It obligates parties to cooperate in investigations, prosecutions, and judicial proceedings related to criminal offenses established under the convention.
Chapter I defines the terminology and key terms used throughout the convention and does not contain any operational or procedural provisions.
