Action 1: Cybercrime Legislation
This Action involves creation of laws that are interoperable and applicable
globally.
Our cybercrime legislation shall be harmonized with global conventions.
Therefore, we shall align our cybercrime legislation with the ITU Toolkit for
Cybercrime Legislation. The alignment of our cybercrime legislation with the ITU
Toolkit
for
Cybercrime
helps
international
cooperation
and
addresses
jurisdictional and evidentiary issues.
Additionally, internationally harmonized legislation strengthens cybersecurity, as
it helps our country build capacity for preventing, deterring and prosecuting
cybercrime.
The cybercrime law should be evaluated by all ministries and legislative
committees that might have an interest in it, even if they have nothing to do with
criminal justice, so that no useful idea is missed.
The cybercrime law should similarly be evaluated by the local private sector, by
any local affiliate of the international private sector, by local non-governmental
organizations, by academics, by unaffiliated interested citizens, by willing foreign
governments, and anyone else with a recognized interest.
It is recommended that the text of National Cybercrime law be drafted to comply
with the provisions of the Convention on Cybercrime (2001)
Action 2: Government Legal Authority
This Action aims to ensure that governments have sufficient legal authority to
secure cyberspace in public interest.
• To create cybersecurity organization structures including the National
Cybersecurity Council;
• Defines the legal basis for creating a national CIRT, For example, the Act
defines the powers to shutdown a critical infrastructure if at risk of a cyber
attack;
