The goal of the project is to introduce the Council of Europe’s Convention on Cyber crime, to support nations in acceding to the convention, and to help them make the necessary changes in their legislation. The project also aims to spread and support the principles of the convention globally.
“The fight against cyber crime is a priority area for us. By contributing to this project, we are directly supporting the spread of the principles held in the Council’s convention throughout the whole world,” said Foreign Minister Urmas Paet. “We have also actively called upon nations to join the convention and to use it as a base for legislation. Estonia’s support of the Council of Europe’s project confirms our governmental involvement in this area,” he added.
In 2004, the Council of Europe’s Convention on Cybercrime came into force in Estonia, and Estonia began to work out additional protocols along with the other nations in the convention.
