Ahead of a U.N. session to craft a cybercrime treaty, nearly 130 groups and experts led by EFF and HRW say 'any proposed convention should incorporate clear and robust human rights safeguards.'
that"it is vitally important to apply a human rights-based approach" to drafting a potential cybercrime treaty.
Spearheaded by the Electronic Frontier Foundation and Human Rights Watch, the letter reiterates concernsduring 2019 debates about whether to begin work on such a treaty, arguing that"countering cybercrime should not come at the expense of the fundamental rights and dignity of those whose lives this proposed convention will touch."
"In other words, efforts to combat cybercrime should also protect, not undermine, human rights," the letter adds."We remind states that the same rights that individuals have offline should also be protected online." "There is a real risk that, in an attempt to entice all states to sign a proposed U.N. cybercrime convention, bad human rights practices will be accommodated."
