  1. UNODC • Cybercrime – the Global Challenge • Standards for the prevention and elimination of cybercrime

  2. UNODC Cybercrime Mandates 2009: General Assembly Resolution 64/179 Explore ways and means of addressing cybercrime 2010: General Assembly Resolution 67/189 Comprehensive study on cybercrime 2011: Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Resolution 20/7 General Assembly Resolution 65/230 Provide cybercrime technical assistance and training 2011: ECOSOC Resolution 2011/33 Produce a study facilitating the identification, description and evaluation of the effects of new information technologies on the abuse and exploitation of children Assess the needs of States for training in investigation of these offences Design a technical assistance programme to meet those needs 2013: Continued work on the study and strengthened partnerships

  3. The Global Challenge • Compared to the investigation, prosecution and adjudication of ‘conventional’ crimes (such as homicide or robbery), the involvement of a computer, mobile phone, or computer data in a crime event, presents at least three key challenges: • Access to evidence – Evidence of cybercrime exists in electronic form. • The lifetime of such evidence varies enormously • The physical location of evidence also varies. • Relevant evidence may be contained within vast quantities of non-relevant data, and that electronic evidence can be subject to encryption. • Handling evidence – Electronic evidence requires careful handling in order to ensure that it meets the necessary standards for use in court. • Identifying the perpetrator – The Identification of the perpetrator(s) can represent a significant challenge.

  4. UNODC Approach: The Global Programme on Cybercrime UNODC Global Programme on Cybercrime Objective: to assist developing countries to prevent and combat cybercrime through a global, sustainable and holistic approach

  5. International and regional instruments • National laws and policies • International cooperation International law increasingly recognizes that children deserve special protection. Combatting the problem States vary considerably in approaches to addressing forms of child abuse and exploitation. While many States criminalize acts such as production of child sexual abuse material, they may differ with respect to elements of the crime and definitions of “child”. Tools and mechanisms for international cooperation include mutual legal assistance treaties, direct law enforcement cooperation, multi-agency partnerships, forums for information-sharing and informal direct law enforcement cooperation.

  6. Specific tools can be employed for detection and investigation: digital forensic techniques, automated search, image analysis and image databases, data mining and analytics. • Investigation of offences • Private sector responses • Civil society responses Combatting the problem Electronic service providers may engage in this respect through varying degrees of self-regulation, including by internet service providers, self-monitoring by travel and tourism companies and the creation of financial coalitions. Parents, guardians, child educators and civil society are a further vital component in combating the problem, including in supporting children in understanding and handling online risks, the “flagging” of certain material online, the creation of telephone hotlines for reporting, and contributions towards education and psycho-social methods of prevention.
