The latest draft of the UN Cybercrime Convention fails to include essential data protection principles and robust safeguards, which could lead to unchecked domestic surveillance and government overreach.
Member States have until August 9 to address the convention's shortcomings, such as prior judicial authorization, transparency, user notification, independent oversight, and data protection principles.
EFF emphasizes the need for human rights safeguards in both criminal procedural measures and international cooperation, highlighting the importance of strong safeguards to prevent government abuse.
Countries must push for stronger data protection and human rights safeguards in the UN Cybercrime Convention to avoid potential systemic rights violations and protect against government overreach.
