On July 25, 2024, Professor Ben Saul, who is the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Promotion and Protection of Human Rights While Countering Terrorism, released a document entitled "Human Rights Assessment of the Draft United Nations Cybercrime Convention." The latest draft for the proposed global cybercrime convention emerged from a very fractious and multi-year set of negotiations, and is still quite controversial. Professor Saul makes what I think are some extremely compelling observations about the dangers of over-criminalization inherent in the way the substantive provisions of the draft are structured, and the ineffectiveness of the human rights "protections" as they stand in this version. I commend it to your reading.
