Submission by Human Rights Watch to the United Nations Ad Hoc Committee to Elaborate a Comprehensive International Convention on Countering the Use of Information and Communication Technologies for Criminal Purposes

Countering cybercrime is a timely and pressing challenge but should not come at the expense of the fundamental rights and dignity of those whose lives this proposed treaty will touch. Human Rights Watch is not convinced a global cybercrime treaty is necessary and is concerned that it risks eroding human rights protections and States’ obligations under international rights law.
