The final draft of the United Nations Convention against Cybercrime has been prepared and adopted
The final session of the intergovernmental open-ended “Ad Hoc” Committee established by the resolution of the United Nations General Assembly dated 27 December 2019 on the elaboration of a comprehensive international convention on countering the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for criminal purposes was held from 29 July to 9 August 2024 at the Headquarters of the United Nations in New York City.
At the final meeting of the session, as a result of the long-term intensive efforts of the delegations of the UN member states, including the Azerbaijani delegation composed of representatives of relevant state institutions of the Republic, the final draft of the United Nations Convention against Cybercrime was adopted.
The Convention covers a broad scope of application, including strengthening international cooperation in combating crimes committed through information and communication technology systems and the exchange of electronic evidence in relation to serious crimes.
At the final session, the Azerbaijani delegation was represented by Hasan Mansurov and Orkhan Abdulkarimli from the State Security Service of Azerbaijan, and Emin Qamarli from the Special Communication and Information Security State Service.
Throughout the reporting period, the Azerbaijani delegation submitted relevant proposals on issues considered fundamental, including the criminalization of offenses committed through information and communication technologies, obligations related to international legal and technical assistance, the protection, collection, and submission of electronic evidence, and international cooperation in this field. All proposals presented by the Azerbaijani side were accepted by the Committee and reflected in the final text of the Convention draft.
At the final session, the Azerbaijani delegation also expressed confidence that the Convention would protect both public and individual interests in the rapidly digitalizing new era and demonstrate the high value and effectiveness of collective efforts. At the same time, it was emphasized that there are serious expectations that the Convention will not serve disinformation, inequality, or neo-colonialism globally.
