Cybercrime

Computer crime, or cybercrime, is any crime that involves a computer and a network.

The point is to create economic incentives to reduce cybercrime.

Cybercrime is the most serious threat to the development of the information economy, and is now considered to be a source of concern to the international community.

Cybercrime may target the data being processed by systems, or the integrity, confidentiality and availability of the systems themselves.

Another aspect of the fight against cybercrime concerns enhancing the capacity of law enforcement agencies by granting them the necessary powers, training, expertise and resources.

And, like ocean piracy and airplane hijacking, cyber crime cannot be allowed to go unpunished if we are to safeguard our common assets and collective interests.

Legal provisions addressing cybercrime should ensure that the criminal code is capable of being applied to acts involving the use of computers, rather than involve a wholesale revision of the existing criminal code.

Countries will need to consider procedural law reforms, such as laws governing search and seizure and the interception of communications, to adequately equip their law enforcement agencies to investigate cybercrime.

The most significant intergovernmental undertaking in this area to date is the Convention on Cybercrime of the Council of Europe, which is open for ratification by non European countries.
