Are Global Powers READY for a New Era of Collaboration in 2025?
VIET NAM / GUTERRES CONVENTION AGAINST CYBERCRIME
Secretary-General António Guterres said, “The UN Cybercrime Convention is a powerful, legally binding instrument to strengthen our collective defenses against cybercrime.”
The world’s first global convention to prevent and respond to cybercrime opened for signature today (25 Oct) in Hanoi, Viet Nam.
Sixty-five states signed the UN Convention against Cybercrime, which still must be ratified by each State according to its own procedures.
Speaking at the signing ceremony, the Secretary-General highlighted that the Convention is “a promise that fundamental human rights such as privacy, dignity, and safety must be protected both offline and online. It is a testament to the continued power of multilateralism to deliver solutions. And it is a vow that no country, no matter their level of development, will be left defenseless against cybercrime.”
The Convention against Cybercrime seeks to respond to the growing threat posed by cybercrime, acknowledging that the misuse of information and communications technology is enabling crimes like terrorism, human trafficking, financial crimes and drug smuggling on an unprecedented scale. It aims to make the prevention and response to cybercrime more effective by strengthening international cooperation, technical assistance and capacity building, particularly for developing countries.
