The UN’s New Cybercrime Convention A Boon to Law Enforcement or a Danger to ..
summary
The UN Convention obliges state parties to criminalize a set of cyber‑dependent offenses and to provide expedited preservation, production, traffic‑data disclosure and interception powers plus extradition and mutual legal assistance for electronic evidence; it adds a new offense for online grooming and non‑consensual intimate‑image sharing and creates a chapter on technical assistance (Article 56). Safeguards appear in Article 6/24 — judicial review, proportionality and a non‑discrimination ground for refusal — but critics warn that carving safeguards to domestic law and a likely protocol pushing vague “extremism” crimes create real implementation and abuse risks.
