The UN’s Ad Hoc Committee to Elaborate a Comprehensive International Convention on Countering the Use of ICTs for Criminal Purposes aka the Ad Hoc Committee on Cybercrime convened in New York for a culminating session, marking the end of two years of negotiations.
The Ad Hoc Committee (AHC) was tasked with drafting a comprehensive cybercrime convention. However, as the final session started, there were no signs of significant progress: member states couldn’t agree on significant issues such as the scope of the convention.
