BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 9. At the United Nations headquarters in New York, the last meeting to draft the worldwide agreement to combat the illicit use of information and communication technologies is taking place, Trend reports.
In light of the rising tide of cybercrimes and other wrongdoings in the realm of ICTs, this convention sets out to tackle a wide range of social interactions.
Meanwhile, during this last hurrah of the three-year process, which involved all UN member states and saw the Republic of Azerbaijan in the thick of it, major hurdles cropped up due to some serious differences of opinion among the delegations.
Disagreements cropped up over matters like the straw that broke the camel's back for the convention's entry into force, playing ball on technical assistance, and even the icing on the cake for the treaty's final name.
Upon adoption and ratification by member states of the United Nations, the final convention draft is anticipated to emerge as an essential and applicable instrument for the contemporary, digital world.
