A/RES/64/211
Legal frameworks
13. Review and update legal authorities (including those related to cybercrime,
privacy, data protection, commercial law, digital signatures and encryption) that
may be outdated or obsolete as a result of the rapid uptake of and dependence upon
new information and communications technologies, and use regional and
international conventions, arrangements and precedents in these reviews. Ascertain
whether your country has developed necessary legislation for the investigation and
prosecution of cybercrime, noting existing frameworks, for example, General
Assembly resolutions 55/63 and 56/121 on combating the criminal misuse of
information technologies, and regional initiatives, including the Council of Europe
Convention on Cybercrime.
14. Determine the current status of national cybercrime authorities and procedures,
including legal authorities and national cybercrime units, and the level of
understanding among prosecutors, judges and legislators of cybercrime issues.
15. Assess the adequacy of current legal codes and authorities in addressing the
current and future challenges of cybercrime, and of cyberspace more generally.
16. Examine national participation in international efforts to combat cybercrime,
such as the round-the-clock Cybercrime Point of Contact Network.
17. Determine the requirements for national law enforcement agencies to
cooperate with international counterparts to investigate transnational cybercrime in
those instances in which infrastructure is situated or perpetrators reside in national
territory, but victims reside elsewhere.
Developing a global culture of cybersecurity
18. Summarize actions taken and plans to develop a national culture of
cybersecurity referred to in General Assembly resolutions 57/239 and 58/199,
including implementation of a cybersecurity plan for Government-operated systems,
national awareness-raising programmes, outreach programmes to, among others,
children and individual users, and national cybersecurity and critical information
infrastructure protection training requirements.
