The Notification Requirement in Transborder Remote Search and Seizure: Domestic and International Law Perspectives

handle is hein.journals/mujlt11 and id is 103 raw text is: A.-M. Osula, M. Zoetekouw: The Notification Requirement ... DOI: 10.58171MUJLT2017-1-6 THE NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENT IN TRANSBORDER REMOTE SEARCH AND SEIZURE: DOMESTIC AND INTERNATIONAL LAW PERSPECTIVES* by ANNA-MARIA OSULA , MARK ZOETEKOUW- Modern criminal investigations increasingly rely on evidence that is not in a tangible format and can no longer be assumed to be located close to the locus delicti or the perpetrator. This article focuses on the notfication requirement embedded into the legal regimes regulating one of the available investigative measures employed to access data stored in digital devices - remote search and seizure. The article will first analyse whether there is an obligation under international law to notify the other state about such a transborder investigative measure. Then we will compare the notification requirements for remote search and seizure in three countries' domestic law: in Estonia, the Netherlands and the United States. Finally, we will draw conclusions on the principal challenges related to the implementation of the notication requirement under the domestic regulation. These involve balancing, on the one hand, the difficulties in identifying the location and the identity of the possible suspect and, on the other hand, the need to provide the involved individuals' protection as guaranteed by the principles offair trial and effective remedy.
