AGENDA

Deliberating upon Countering the Use of Information and Communications Technologies for Criminal Purposes
To effectively counter the criminal exploitation of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT), a comprehensive strategy is imperative, intertwining legal, technological, and collaborative efforts. This entails the continual evolution of legislative frameworks to keep pace with emerging cyber threats, the development and deployment of advanced technological tools for digital forensics and cybersecurity, the implementation of widespread awareness programs to educate individuals and organizations on cyber hygiene practices, and the establishment of robust international partnerships to facilitate information sharing and coordinated action against transnational cybercrime. Only through such integrated approaches can we mitigate the risks posed by the illicit use of ICT and safeguard the integrity of digital ecosystems.
