UN approves timetable for new treaty to combat cybercrime
UNITED NATIONS (AP) — The U.N. General Assembly has approved a resolution with a timetable to draft a new international treaty to combat cybercrime.
The Russian-drafted resolution, which was approved by consensus Wednesday after three amendments were adopted, requires the drafting committee to present the proposed treaty to the General Assembly at its 78th session which runs from September 2023 to September 2024.
In December 2019, the 193-member assembly approved a resolution to establish an expert committee representing all regions of the world “to elaborate a comprehensive international convention on countering the use of information and communications technologies for criminal purposes.”
The resolution just adopted notes “that information and communications technologies, while having enormous potential for the development of states, create new opportunities for perpetrators and may contribute to a rise in the levels and complexity of crime.”
