"This week, the United Nations General Assembly is set to adopt the UN
Cybercrime Convention, almost exactly five years after it approved a resolution
to launch its negotiation. The Convention text has been widely panned by
digital security experts, human rights organizations, industry, even the UN’s
own human rights office, among many others. Yet still it moves forward,
propelled by prosecutors and justice ministries the world over and the treaty’s
own internal processes, creating a vehicle for the further negotiation of tools
for transnational repression."
