News:

The finalization of this Convention is a landmark step as the first multilateral anti-crime treaty in over 20 years and the first UN Convention against Cybercrime at a time when threats in cyberspace are growing rapidly.

The draft convention is expected to be adopted by the General Assembly later this year, thus becoming the first global legally binding instrument on cybercrime.

The treaty would enter into force once 40 member nations will ratify it.

Presently, the Budapest Convention (2001) serves as the guideline or reference for cybercrime legislation worldwide.
