It bears noting that only the intended objectives of ECOWAS directives are binding on its Member States, and that each Member State retains the freedom to decide on the best strategies for implementing and realizing those objectives.92 E. United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime UNODC is mandated to assist UN Member States in their struggle against illicit drugs, crime and terrorism.93 This mandate is in support of the Millennium Declaration made by Member States, in which they resolved to intensify efforts to fight transnational crime in all its dimensions, to redouble the efforts to implement the commitment to counter the world drug problem, and to take concerted action against international terrorism.94 UNODC is built on the three pillars of (1) fieldbased technical cooperation projects to enhance Member State capacity to counteract illicit drugs, crime and terrorism; (2) research and analytical work to increase knowledge and understanding of drugs and crime issues and to expand the evidence base for policy and operational decisions; and (3) normative work to assist states in the ratification and implementation of the relevant international treaties, the development of domestic legislation on drugs, crime and terrorism, and the provision of secretariat and substantive services to the treaty-based and governing bodies.95 Taking a slightly more complicated approach to categorizing cybercrime, UNODC posits three, non-exhaustive categories in its Comprehensive Study on Cybercrime96: 1  Acts against the confidentiality, integrity and availability of computer data or systems; 2  Computer-related acts for personal or financial gain or harm, including sending spam; and 3  Computer content-related acts.97 F. United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute UNICRI exists to assist the international community in formulating and implementing improved crime prevention and criminal justice policies through action-oriented research, training and technical-cooperation programs. Having launched a strategic engagement in technology to support the fight against crime and responding to the misuse of technology, UNICRI is working to maintain a harmonized approach that effectively balances security concerns and human rights. Similar to UNODC, UNICRI posits a tripartite classification of cybercrime in its “Cybercrime: Risks for the Economy and Enterprises” Roundtable in 201398: 1 Cyber analogues of traditional crimes; 2 Cyber publishing of illegal content (e.g., child pornography; incitement to racial hatred); and 3 Crimes unique to cyberspace (e.g., denial of service and hacking).99 Page 75 | Chapter 2 | § A.
