ICC recommendations to signatory states to contemplate when implementing the Council of Europe Cybercrime Convention and its First Additional Protocol

International business is committed to cooperate with law enforcement in a manner consistent with business realities. Appropriate cooperation between business and law enforcement is essential to enhance the security of the Internet -- a necessary step in ensuring its viability as a medium to conduct commerce.

Therefore, international business welcomes the opportunity to work with governments as they begin to implement the Convention and its first additional Protocol into their domestic law. In addition, ICC Commercial Crime Services cybercrime unit is in a position to act as a focal point for the receipt and dissemination of either incidents or attacks of cybercrime to industry, law enforcement authorities, and law and policy makers in government.
