Editor, Maricelle Ruiz, IBLS Director -- Europe Wednesday, May 31, 2006
The Committee charged with updating the Convention on Cybercrime wants to keep criminals from using the latest technology to exchange pornographic content involving minors. That's why during their latest meeting in France, its members decided to expand the definition of computer system in the Convention to include mobile phones and personal digital assistants, commonly known as PDAs. These gadgets can also be used to access the Internet, send emails and pictures and upload documents. During the meeting in the city of Strasbourg, the Cybercrime Convention Committee - slated to meet again in 2007 - also discussed ways to increase cooperation between member states, international organizations, universities and corporations when countries are drafting cybercrime laws, building investigative capacity and becoming proficient in computer forensics. Cyberterrorism and the use of the Internet to distribute racist and xenophobic content were also discussed during the meeting. The Convention on Cybercrime includes an Additional Protocol concerning the criminalization of acts of a racist and xenophobic nature, committed through the use of computer systems. The Convention on Cybercrime is the only binding international document on cybercrime, serving as basis for legislation on cybercrime worldwide. Twelve states are parties to this Convention including Albania, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Croatia, Denmark, Estonia, France, Hungary, Lithuania, Romania, Slovenia and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia.
