The United Nations approved the United Nations Convention Against Cybercrime, aimed at combating cybercrime and promoting international cooperation.

The United Nations has approved its first cybercrime treaty, known as the United Nations Convention Against Cybercrime. The treaty aims to combat cybercrime, including computer system attacks, online fraud, and money laundering, and encourages international cooperation and technical assistance to build capacity against cybercrime. The draft convention has faced criticism from human rights activists who warn of potential surveillance dangers and argue that it may facilitate government repression by expanding surveillance capabilities without adequate safeguards. The treaty will enter into force once ratified by 40 member nations.
