Multistakeholder Manifesto
Multistakeholder Manifesto
Prioritizing Human-Centric Equities within the Proposed UN Cybercrime Treaty
September 30th, 2021 in Geneva
Cybercrime continues to evolve. Although something clearly needs to be done, there is growing concern that proposed action to tackle this is at the expense of fundamental human rights and that there are serious risks to the open and free internet.
As the deadline of 29 October 2021 approaches for countries to submit input to the United Nations ahead of the January negotiations at the UN for a Cybercrime Convention, the CyberPeace Institute and its industry partners assembled under the Cybersecurity TechAccord initiative, have published the Multi-Stakeholder Manifesto. The principles outlined in the Manifesto are considered key to reflect human-centric principles in any cyber crime legislation.
The Manifesto is supported by over 50 civil society and industry representatives. Signatories to the Manifesto want to also ensure that any cybercrime convention preserves and upholds basic human rights and freedoms guaranteed under existing international UN and other treaties.
