Montenegro Signs United Nations Convention Against Cybercrime

In October in New York, on behalf of the Government, [he/she] signed the United Nations Convention against Cybercrime, further strengthening our commitment to a safer digital space and international cooperation in combating cybercrime and cyber threats. The Ministry of Justice had previously participated, through its representative as the national delegate, in negotiations on the Convention within the relevant UN Ad Hoc Committee. The signing of the Convention is part of the Ministry of Justice’s efforts to strengthen international cooperation in combating all forms of crime, and also builds on Montenegro’s longstanding commitment to the Council of Europe’s Budapest Convention. These two instruments complement each other and together enhance states’ ability to protect citizens, institutions and the economy in the digital space. Once it enters into force, the Convention will be the most comprehensive international instrument of its kind, with the broadest global reach in this field.
