Papua New Guinea Cybercrime Policy 2014 Bug”  computer  worm,  developed  by  a  suspect  in  the  Philippines  in  200014  which  infected   millions  of  computers  worldwide.15         Local   investigations   were   hindered   by   the   fact   that   the   development   and   spreading   of   malicious  software  was  not  at  the  time  criminalised  in  the  Philippines.16     For   Papua   New   Guinea   the   relevant   regional   harmonization   approaches   are   the   Commonwealth   Model   Law   on   Computer   and   Computer-­‐related   Crime   (2002)   and   the   Skeleton   for   Cybercrime   Legislation   (2011)   that   was   developed   by   and   for   Pacific   countries   within   the   EU/ITU   co-­‐funded   project   (ICB4PAC).     Both   documents   reflect   prevailing  Commonwealth  standards  and  are  also  in  alignment  with  the  harmonization   approaches   adopted   by   other   regions   such   as   the   Council   of   Europe   Convention   on   Cybercrime   and   the   European   Union   Directives   and   Framework   Decisions   related   to   computer  crime  and  cybercrime.         3.   Crime  Prevention     3.1   Awareness     This  Policy  recognises  the  need  for  implementation  of  effective  awareness  of  Cybercrime   (and   Cybersecurity),   its   impacts   and   what   steps   can   be   taken   to   prevent   and   combat   Cybercrime.     To  achieve  this,  the  Government  sees  the  need  to  raise  awareness  particularly  amongst   young  children,  the  general  populace   who  are  not  otherwise  aware  of  the  threats  posed   by  Cybercrime.    Accordingly,  such  awareness  should  also  be  undertaken  by  responsible   Government  agencies  and  industry  stakeholders.             3.2   Education     The  Policy  also  recognises  the  need  to  educate  the  citizens  of  Papua  New  Guinea  about   Cybercrime,   what   it   is,   how   it   can   negatively   impact   society   and   how   to   prevent   individuals   becoming   victims.     In   this   respect   the   Government   will   endeavour   to   bring   about  educational  reforms  by  introducing  subjects  or  courses  about  Cybercrime,  how  it   can  impact  society  and  prevent  measures,  in  its  syllabus.       3.3   Capacity  Building                                                                                                                               14  For  more  information,  see  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ILOVEYOU;  regarding  the  effect  of  the  worm  on  Critical  Information   Infrastructure  Protection,  see:  Brock,  “ILOVEYOU”  Computer  Virus  Highlights  Need  for  Improved  Alert  and  Coordination  Capabilities,  2000.   15  BBC  News,  “Police  close  in  on  Love  Bug  culprit”,  06.05.2000.   16  See  for  example:  CNN,  “Love  Bug  virus  raises  spectre  of  cyberterrorism”,  08.05.2000;  Chawki,  “A  Critical  Look  at  the  Regulation  of   Cybercrime”,  http://www.crime-­‐research.org/articles/Critical/2;  Sofaer/Goodman,  “Cyber  Crime  and  Security  –  The  Transnational   Dimension”  in  Sofaer/Goodman,  “The  Transnational  Dimension  of  Cyber  Crime  and  Terrorism”,  2001,  page  10;  Goodman/Brenner,  The   Emerging  Consensus  on  Criminal  Conduct  in  Cyberspace,  UCLA  Journal  of  Law  and  Technology,  Vol.  6,  Issue  1;  United  Nations  Conference   on  Trade  and  Development,  Information  Economy  Report  2005,  UNCTAD/SDTE/ECB/2005/1,  2005,  Chapter  6,  page  233.       P | 18
