1 Introduction

The purpose of this compilation of country profiles is to inform stakeholders participating in further

discussions on international cooperation on cybercrime of the benefits of a State joining the Budapest

Convention on Cybercrime in terms of capacity building and domestic legislation.

The rationale is that if a State requests accession to the Budapest Convention, this represents the

necessary political commitment justifying support to the development of domestic legislation in line

with this treaty and the strengthening of capabilities of criminal justice authorities to apply this

legislation in the investigation, prosecution and adjudication of cybercrime and other offences

involving electronic evidence.

This is not limited to Europe but is applicable to any country or region. The examples of countries such

as the Philippines and Sri Lanka in Asia, of Ghana, Mauritius, Morocco or Senegal in Africa, of the

Dominican Republic in Latin America or Tonga in the Pacific illustrate this correlation. These and others

had decided to base their domestic laws on the Budapest Convention and to seek accession to this

treaty. Therefore, they were eligible to participation in a wide range of activities.

Results include that by early 2020, not only the 65 Parties to the Budapest Convention but 106 States

worldwide had their substantive criminal law aligned with this treaty and 82 States had also adopted

specific procedural powers to secure electronic evidence. 79% of UN Member States had drawn on the

Budapest Convention at least to some extent when developing domestic legislation (see appendix).

Obviously, not all Parties to the Budapest Convention require international support. On the contrary,

many are in a position to share their experience with others. This is mostly the case for Parties in

Europe and North America or for Australia and Japan. However, expertise is now also developing in

other Parties that have benefited from capacity building programmes and that now have the skills to

train others.

While the international community has been divided for decades on how best to address the question

of cybercrime at international levels, there has always been broad agreement on capacity building.

This was also an interim outcome of the UN Intergovernmental Expert Group on Cybercrime in

February 2013. The Council of Europe, therefore, decided in October 2013 to strengthen its own

capacities for more effective capacity building by setting up the Cybercrime Programme Office

(C-PROC) in Bucharest, Romania. C-PROC supported some 900 activities since it became operational

in April 2014. It currently manages projects with a volume of some EUR 38 million; these are joint

projects with the European Union or are funded by voluntary contributions (see appendix).

The present compendium is a snapshot to illustrate the correlation between the Budapest Convention,

domestic legislation and capacity building. It is not intended to be updated. And it does not have the

ambition to be complete as many other organisations and governments are also providing support

through bilateral or regional programmes, often privileging countries committed to implement the

Budapest Convention.

Summary

Largely in place Largely in

place

Albanian legislation related to cybercrime and electronic

evidence is to a large extent compliant with the Budapest

Convention on Cybercrime. Since 2016 some changes have

been made to strengthen the legislative framework related to

cybercrime. CC was amended in 2017, including related to

Articles 293.b (computer data interference) and 293.c

(interference with computer system). CPC was also amended

in 2017, including the Article 208.a (seizure of data or

computer system).

The national legal framework currently includes all the

provisions of the criminal law measures detailed in the

Convention in the CC. The procedural powers detailed in the

Convention are implemented in the CPC, with one noticeable

shortfall relating to real-time collection of traffic data.

In terms of substantive law, the Criminal Code of Belarus

contains elements of all substantive law offences provided by

the Budapest Convention, however, the elements and

definitions used are either incomplete or not in line with the

Convention.



Some reforms carried out in recent years, including

introducing limited production order powers in 2016. There is

reported work on data protection legislation since 2017 which

should, once adopted, pave the way for cybercrime-related

amendments; no progress has been reported in this regard.

Information Security Strategy containing chapter on

cybercrime was adopted in 2019. .

Belize doesn’t yet have legislation on cybercrime, nor any

other law that addresses the relevant offences, except for child

sexual exploitation and intellectual property violations. The

development of a cybercrime law is considered a high priority

in the agenda of the Government. The existing Electronic

Evidence Act (2003), Criminal Code, Chapter 101 (2000) and

also Interception of communications Act (2010) contain some

provisions related to the admissibility of electronic evidence

court.

The Task Force led by the Ministry of National Security drafted

a preliminary version of the Cybercrime Bill, mostly based on

the Commonwealth Model Law. The Bill presents issues related

to possible overcriminalization of some conducts, insufficient

safeguards on procedural powers and the absence of provisions

related to international cooperation.

Summary


place

In BiH legislation related to cybercrime is mostly compliant with

the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime.

Due to its divided competences BiH has four Criminal Codes

(CC) and Laws on Criminal Procedure (CPC) - state, entities’,

and districts’. Cybercrime is investigated at the entities and

district level.

In BiH the national legal framework currently includes almost all

provisions of the criminal law measures detailed in the

Convention in the respective entities and district’s CCs. The

procedural powers detailed in the Convention are implemented

in the entities and district’s legislation, but some procedural

measures are missing (preservation powers), in addition some

identified improvements are still necessary.

On the positive side, in Republika Srpska a working group was

recently established that is responsible for drafting amendments

to the CC and CPC, which will also include provisions related to

cybercrime and the management and preservation of electronic

evidence.


The authorities of Bosnia and Herzegovina have been participating in a range of capacity building

activities on cybercrime and electronic evidence of the Council of Europe, including joint projects with

Summary

Partially in

Partially in

place

Brazilian legislation in force criminalises many of the offences

of the Budapest Convention, albeit in a somewhat fragmented

manner. This is the case for elements of illegal access, illegal

interception, data interference, system interference, misuse of

devices, computer-related forgery and fraud.

Law 12737 of Nov 2012 modified some provisions of the Penal

Code to this effect, that is, Articles 154-A, 154-B, 266 and

313-A.

The Child and Adolescent Statute (Estatuto da Criança e

Adolescente), Law 8069 of 13 July 1990, criminalises conduct

related to child pornography.

Law 9609 of 19 Feb 1998 covers the protection of intellectual

property rights related to software.

As in many other countries of Latin America, general police

powers are used by analogy to secure electronic evidence.

A new Penal Code, including also a set of provisions on

cybercrime in line with the Budapest Convention, has been

pending in the Senate since 2012. Given the complexity of

adopting a comprehensive new Penal Code, attempts are now

being made to adopt a special law on cybercrime. A draft Bill,

prepared by the Federal Prosecution Service (Ministério Público

Federal), is available. It takes up the relevant provision of the

draft Penal Code with the expectation that as a separate law, it

may be adopted sooner.

Summary

Partially in

Concerning substantive law, the majority of the conducts

described in the Budapest Convention are criminalized in the

current legislation in Chile – mostly through Law No. 19,223

enacted on 28 May 1993 that criminalizes offenses relating to

information technology. However, legislation is considered to be

fragmented and insufficient. The current Code of Criminal

Procedure of Chile lacks a complete and detailed regulation of

technological investigative measures for the prosecution of

cybercrimes.

The Public Prosecutor’s Office supported the reforms of

substantive and procedural laws to fully align them with the

Budapest Convention standards. Following discussions in the

Congress and in the Senate over the new bill, it is expected to

be approved in the first semester of 2020. The main progress

will be achieved on the procedural law, where provisions will be

consolidated in accordance with the Budapest Convention,

including preservation orders, search and seizure, as well as

special technical support.


The Chilean authorities have been participating in a number of capacity building activities on

cybercrime and electronic evidence of the Council of Europe. Since 2018, the Dominican Republic is

also a priority country of the GLACY+ joint project with the European Union. The activities that Chile

has benefitted from include:

Summary

Largely in place Largely in place The legal framework to investigate and prosecute cybercrime

in Costa Rica is contained in the National Criminal Code

(Código Penal, Ley n° 4573) and the Law on Intervention of

Telecommunications (Ley n° 7425), plus a number of sectoral

laws. The relevant procedural provisions are contained in the

Criminal Procedural Code (Codigo Procesal Penal, Ley N° 7594)

and other special laws. The Council of Europe recommended to

consider, where possible, using freestanding criminal

procedure provisions on topics such as preservation or

searches instead of relying on general powers.

A legislative review is currently ongoing in the Parliament. The

new law will also include some requirements and instruments

from the Second Additional Protocol to the Budapest

Convention. A law on the security of minors and a reform of

the Criminal Code are also under discussion. An Administrative

Circular was issued in 2019 with clarifications regarding

computer fraud with the purpose of strengthening the Criminal

Procedural Code.


The Costa Rican authorities have been participating in a number of capacity building activities on

cybercrime and electronic evidence of the Council of Europe. Since 2018, Costa Rica is also a priority

country of the GLACY+ joint project with the European Union. The activities that Costa Rica has

benefitted from include:

The Computer Crime Proclamation No.958/2016 covers the legal

mechanisms and procedures related to computer crimes and the

collection of electronic evidence.

While most offences and procedural powers of the Budapest

Convention are available in domestic legislation, some of the

substantive provisions are broad and create the risk of

overcriminalization (e.g. Art. 13 on Crimes against Liberty and

Reputation of Persons, Art. 14 on Crimes against Public Security

etc.).

distinct topics, but parts of it specifically address cybercrime.

While the substantive offences under the ICA are broadly in line

with the Budapest Convention, with some revisions is

recommended, the investigatory powers available to law

enforcement under the Criminal Procedure Code, the obligations

of service providers and the mechanisms for international

cooperation require significant improvement.

The Council of Europe supported the Gambian Ministry of Justice

and Ministry of Information and Communication Infrastructure in

the preparation of a draft Cybercrime Bill, which was finalized in

Dec 2019 and open for public consultation until Jan 2020. The bill

is currently in the process of approval.

In terms of substantive law, Criminal Code of Georgia contains

elements of all substantive law offences provided by the Budapest

Convention.

The Criminal Procedure Code generally implements procedural

powers in compliance with the Budapest Convention, with

alternative provisions being used for preservation. Georgia is also

one of the few countries of the region having adopted a provision

on international production orders as part of the criminal

procedure legislation.

The draft law implementing all procedural powers under the

Budapest Convention, based on CoE recommendations, has been

in Parliamentary hearings since 2017.

The Penal Code of Germany, as amended in 2009, covers

extensively the substantive law provisions as required by the

Budapest Convention on Cybercrime.

Similarly, the Criminal Procedure Code addresses all of the

procedural powers of the Convention, with exception of Article 16

and 17: the concept of seizure of computer data, including the

disclosure of data, is effectuated by applying the concept of

seizure of the data carrier concerned.

Partially in

The legal framework relating to cyberspace is mainly governed by

the law on cybersecurity and the protection of personal data, loi

L/2016/037/AN relative à la cybersécurité et la protection des

données. The law introduces provisions on substantive criminal law,

including illegal access, illegal interception, data and system

interference, computer-related fraud and forgery and child online

protection. Provisions on procedural law, including the use and

acceptance of electronic evidence are included in Art.84 and Art.94-

105 of the law L/2016/037/AN and in the Penal and Criminal

Procedure Codes as amended in 2016.

While most offences and procedural powers of the Budapest

Convention are available in domestic legislation, they lack

coherence and are contradictory including in terms of sanctions.

Some provisions are broad and create risks to the freedom of

expression.

includes provisions related to the telecommunications sector and to

internet governance (Art.105). However, this legal framework does

not contain elements related to cybercrime offences.

The Penal Code of Guinea-Bissau dates to 1993 and contains no

Electronic Transactions and Information Law of 2008 was amended

in 2016 removing some safeguards.

The national legislation framework also raises questions with

respect to fundamental rights: no data protection law is in place

and no judicial supervision is required for some cybercrime

procedural powers, including search and seizure and production

orders.

Recommendations made during the training on cybercrime and e-

evidence delivered to Indonesian judges by Council of Europe

trained trainers in Jan 2019 included the need to review procedural

provisions, safeguards, and international cooperation in more

The same Act provides for the procedural powers of search, while

however, powers to order the production and the preservation of

powers compliant to the Budapest Convention is underway.

Largely in place The Computer Misuse and Cybercrime Act, drafted with Council of

Europe assistance in full compliance with the Budapest

Convention, was adopted in 2018.

The Kenya Bloggers’ Association subsequently raised concerns of

constitutionality leading the High Court to freeze the enactment of

26 articles of the Act – including a number of content-related

crimes added later and procedural articles modified with respect

to the initial Bill (no specification of any legal ground to be

presented to the judge to get warrants for production orders and

search and seizure). A review of the contested provisions was

carried out during a mission of the Council of Europe and the

Commonwealth Secretariat in Feb 2019 and can be used as a

starting point for a more thorough legal analysis. The Council of

Europe offered to support the Kenyan authorities in this process.

The High Court dismissed the application to suspend the 26

articles in Feb 2020, thus the legislation of Kenya is currently

compliant with the Budapest Convention.

The Criminal Code of Latvia provides an exhaustive substantive law

framework, addressing all offences provided by the Budapest

Convention.

In terms of procedural powers, Criminal Procedure Code provides

all relevant procedural powers also found in the Convention, with

exception of production orders provided under the Electronic

Communications Act. It has to be noted that Latvia uses national

regulations on data retention to enact preservation powers (Article

16 and 17 of the Budapest Convention) in practice.

Summary

There is no specific legislation pertaining to cybercrime or

electronic evidence in Lebanon. The Lebanese Criminal Code

provides for general substantive criminal law; however Criminal

Code do not provide any offences against the confidentiality,

integrity and availability of computer data and systems, computer-

related offences or content-related offences.

The Criminal Procedure code provides for the general criminal

procedural law and do not provide for any specific powers that

enable the preservation and collection of evidence in electronic

form.

The government of Lebanon is deliberating the Electronic

Transactions and Personal Data Bill which includes substantive and

procedural law provisions related to cybercrime and electronic

evidence.

An assessment of the Bill suggests that the new legislation is

largely in line with the Budapest Convention.

Law on Cybercrime, developed with CoE support, adopted and in

force since Jan 2019.

Summary

Largely in

Largely in place In Mauritius, the general legal framework regarding cybercrime

and electronic evidence is stated in the Computer Misuse and

Cybercrime Act 2003. The Act draws inspiration from and is

largely framed upon the dated version of the Computer Misuse Act

of the UK. It criminalises a number of offences committed against

or through computer systems and provides for investigative

procedures, as well as rules on admissibility of evidence, together

with the Criminal Procedure Code and the Evidence law.

The Act is largely consistent with the broader aspects of the

Budapest Convention, thus allowing Mauritius to become the first

African country to accede to this treaty.

Mauritius is currently working on an amendment to the Act, with

one of the major changes being the criminalization of cyber

harassment.

Summary

Partially in

place

Partially in

place

Mexico has some provisions in the Federal Criminal Code to

punish certain crimes committed through information systems,

but the substantive criminal legal framework should be

reinforced. Regarding procedural measures, Art. 381 of the

National Code of Criminal Procedure (NCCP) recognizes data and

information contained in digital, electronic, optical or any other

technology as means of admission of evidence in criminal courts,

but no specific rules or guidelines have yet been developed for

the use and admission of electronic evidence. The Supreme Court

dismissed Art. 303 of the NCCP in March 2018 concerning the

obtaining of geographic location of mobile devices in real-time by

the authorities for purposes of criminal investigations.

A draft Bill on cybercrime, largely in line with the Budapest

Convention, was presented in Nov 2017 by two former MPs. The

draft law needs to be reviewed and approved by the current

legislature.

Summary

Largely in

place

Largely in place Montenegro is a Party to the Budapest Convention and its

legislation is broadly compliant with the requirements of the

Convention. Provisions covering expedited preservation and

disclosure (Article 16 and 17 of the Budapest Convention), have

not been transposed. There is no special provision regulating

search and seizure of stored computer data as provided by

Article 19 of the Budapest Convention, generic provisions of the

CP apply instead. No legislative changes in respect of cybercrime

and electronic evidence have taken place during the last four

years.

The Montenegrin Cyber Security Strategy 2013-2017 refers to

the computer crime (cybercrime), which require a specialised

response of criminal justice authorities. The updated Cyber

Security Strategy for 2018-2021 was adopted in Dec 20171 and

it also refers to strengthening capacities of state law

enforcement authorities in combating cybercrime.

Summary

Largely in

place

Partially in

place

Law No. 07-03, promulgated on Nov 11, 2003, introduced

offenses relating to automated data processing systems (STAD)

into the Criminal Code. This law provides a criminal response to

attacks on STAD and criminalizes many of the offences also

covered by the Budapest Convention. However, there are no

specific provisions allowing the obtaining or collection of data

traffic, content or subscriber data. The general provisions of the

Criminal Procedural Code allow, from a practical point of view,

according to Moroccan officials, to use the procedural means

contained in the Convention.

Currently, a Bill for the review of the Criminal Procedural Code is

under discussion, including new dispositions to strengthen

procedures for dealing with cybercrime.

Summary

the Data Protection Bill (2013), the Cybercrime Bill (2018) and

the Electronic Transfers Bill (2018). Only the latter was

submitted to the Parliament, while the two other bills are still

under consultations and review. Despite incomplete legal

framework, Namibia has ratified the Malabo Convention in 2018.

Comments to the cybercrime bill were provided by the Council of

Europe in two meetings/workshops with the Legislative Drafting

Department of the Ministry of Justice. With the exception of

some articles the draft law seems largely in line with the

Budapest Convention for substantive and procedural powers,

including safeguards, while lacking specific provisions for

international cooperation. Council of Europe participated in an

advisory mission to Namibia in Feb 2020.

Largely in place North Macedonia is a Party to the Budapest Convention on

Cybercrime (the Convention) and its relevant legislation is

broadly in compliance with the provisions of the treaty.

The national legal framework currently includes all the provisions

of the criminal law measures detailed in the Convention in the

CC.

The procedural powers detailed in the Convention are regulated

in the CPC, but there are some gaps in relation to expedited

preservation of stored computer data, expedited preservation

and partial disclosure of traffic data and real-time collection of

traffic data.

Summary


place

Paraguay has a fairly broad substantive legislation to conduct

investigations on cybercrimes. Law No. 6002 of 18 Dec 2017

amends various provisions of the Criminal Code. Most

substantive provisions are covered with respect to the

Budapest Conventions (with some minor omissions). However,

the current Code of Criminal Procedure in Paraguay (Law No.

1286/1998) lacks specific regulations regarding digital

evidence.

Reforms are currently being considered to fully align the

national legislation on cybercrime as well as the national cyber

security strategy with international standards and good

practices. Amendments to the Criminal Procedure Code to

extend its provisions to cover online crimes are planned.

place

In Peru, law 30171 of March 2014 replaced the earlier Computer

Crimes Act and follows closely the substantive criminal law

provisions of the Budapest Convention. In terms of procedural

powers, this law only covers procedural powers to a limited

extent (related to interception powers) and it appears that

generic powers of the Criminal Procedure Code are applied.

Amendatory bills on cybercrime investigations are under work

procedural powers, responsibilities, extradition. The aim is for

the amendments to provide a structured approach for

prosecutors and investigators on cybercrime investigations and

to further align national legislation with the Budapest

Convention.

Crimes Act 2013 provides for most of the offences under the

Budapest Convention, with the notable exception of offences

related to infringements of copyright and related rights which

was also inadequately covered under the Copyright Act (1998).

The Council of Europe recommended, during a mission held in

July 2018, for the Samoan government to consider amending

its existing laws rather than enacting a new standalone

legislation.

Summary

Largely in place Largely in place Following several legislative reforms, the Senegalese

government adopted the Law 2008-11 of 25 Jan 2008 on

cybercrime, which is directly inspired by many of the

provisions of the Budapest Convention. In Nov 2016, new

amendments were introduced to the country’s existing Penal

Code and Criminal Procedure Code to create a more

appropriate legal framework regarding the criminal sanctions

applied to cybercrimes, facilitating the collection and

management of electronic evidence and the protection of

human rights in cybercrime investigations.

Further amendments to the Penal Code are currently under

discussion in Senegal, with the aim of addressing specific

aspects, such as the transposition of the ECOWAS Directive on

anti-money laundering and counter financing of terrorism.

Summary

Largely in place Largely in place Serbia is a Party to the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime

and its relevant legislation is broadly in compliance with the

provisions of the treaty. However, there are some gaps in the

national legislation with respect to the transposition of the


While there are specific offences in place for illegal access,

data interference, system interference, misuse of devices and

computer-related fraud, others (illegal interception, computer-

related forgery) are partially covered by generic provisions.

The CPC and other relevant laws contain provisions on

procedural measures, however there are some gaps. The

provisions on expedited preservation in the sense of Articles 16

- 17 of the Budapest Convention are not implemented in the

national legislation and are executed by norms related to

search and seizure of objects and by norms related to data

retention. Nevertheless, preservation would allow securing

evidence from any person, in a more expedited and flexible

manner.

The MOJ has established working groups for amendments to

the CC and the CPC aimed at further aligning domestic criminal

legislation with the applicable EU regulations. Amendments are

planned to be adopted by 2020.

Summary

Largely in place Largely in place The legislation on electronic evidence and cybercrime in Sri

Lanka consists of a mixture of laws, with the most relevant

being the Computer Crime Act of 2007 No. 24 (“CCA”) and the

Electronic Transaction Act No 19 of 2006 (“ETA”). With the

exception of the CCA most of the offences in the various other

acts relate to sector/issue specific crimes.

The CCA appears to have been inspired by the Budapest

Convention, the UK’s Computer Misuse Act and Singapore’s

Computer Misuse Act. Overall, the legislation of Sri Lanka is in

line with the Budapest Convention. However, some of the

definitions, substantive law and procedural law provisions

could be reassessed by relevant stakeholders in light of case

law.

Sri Lanka also worked on finalizing its legislation on cyber

security and on data protection.

Under Swedish criminal law, most of the substantive law

provisions corresponding to the Budapest Convention (illegal

provision on breach of data secrecy (Chapter 4, Section 9 c of

the Penal Code).

The criminal procedure legislation addresses several procedural

powers provided by the Budapest Convention (search and

seizure, interception), however does not implement yet specific

powers of preservation, production orders and real-time

In 2018 Tunisia was invited to accede to the Budapest

Convention on Cybercrime; the Council of Europe and the

European Union are supporting Tunisia in the further

strengthening of legislation and criminal justice capacities.

On May 1, 2018, the Tunisian Council of Ministers approved a

draft cybercrime law that was referred to the Parliament.

Summary

Largely in

place

Largely in place Turkey has been a Party to the Budapest Convention since

April 2014. With the 2016 amendments to the CC, the

substantive law provisions of the Convention may be

considered as covered.

However, there are still certain gaps related to procedural

provisions. The preservation powers are not provided. Also, the

production order that is provided by the law is too limited and

covers only subscriber information, which may be used in order

to identify the accurate judicial area for an investigation. Real-

time collection of traffic data and interception of content data

have been provided by the CPC, but due to the limited scope of

the domestic provision, the measures cannot be applied to

cybercrime offences as required by the Budapest Convention.

Although the provision on real-time collection of traffic data

has been implemented, there are also problems of technical

nature that prevent its practical implementation.

Although the National Cyber Security Strategy and its action

plan foresee updating legislation as one of the priority actions,

there are currently no plans to review the CPC.

3.2 The global state of cybercrime legislation 2013 – 2020: A

cursory overview

version 3 March 2020

prepared by the Cybercrime Programme Office of the Council of Europe (C-PROC)

The Council of Europe is cooperating with a large range of countries in all regions of the world,

including with respect to reforms of legislation. In Jan 2013, prior to the 2nd meeting of the UN

Intergovernmental Expert Group on Cybercrime, under the then Global Project on Cybercrime a review

of the state of cybercrime legislation had been prepared.

Following updates of the study by the Cybercrime Programme Office of the Council of Europe (C-

PROC) in 2018 and 2019, the present overview summarises the situation as at 29 Feb 2020.

The tables below summarise preliminary results. This is a cursory overview and does not represent the

results of a thorough assessment.

1 Reforms of legislation on cybercrime and electronic evidence

Some countries began to work on specific legislation on cybercrime and electronic evidence already in

the 1990s. By Feb 2020, some 92% of UN Member States had either carried out such reforms or

reforms were underway.

Many African States, in particular, have commenced reforms during the past seven years.

Underway or undertaken in recent years

States By Jan 2013 By Jan 2018 By Feb 2020

All Africa 54 25 46% 45 83% 46 85%

All Americas 35 25 71% 31 89% 32 91%

All Asia 42 34 81% 37 88% 38 90%

All Europe 48 47 98% 48 100% 48 100%

All Oceania 14 12 86% 12 86% 13 93%

All 193 143 74% 173 90% 177 92%

Obviously, reforms of legislation can never be considered completed and should thus be understood as

a continuous process.

One problem seems to be that in many countries reforms are initiated but not carried through, with

draft laws sometimes pending for years or being abandoned.

Furthermore, some Governments are careful not to adopt laws without the necessary capacities to

apply them. In some instances, laws have been adopted but not their implementing regulations.

Capacity building support is required to move ahead.

2 Substantive criminal law provisions

As a result of reforms undertaken, 106 States (or 55% of UN Member States) seem to have had

substantive criminal law provisions to criminalise offences against and by means of computers “largely

in place” by Feb 2020, that is, they had adopted specific domestic provisions corresponding to most of

the substantive criminal law articles of the Budapest Convention.2

An additional one third of States had adopted at least some specific substantive criminal law

provisions.

Very good progress was thus made in the seven years between Jan 2013 and Feb 2020 in this

respect. And the pace of reforms significantly increased again since 2018.

2 This does not necessarily mean that they were fully in line with these provisions of the Budapest

Convention.

3 Specific procedural powers to secure e-evidence

Reform of procedural law and the enactment of specific procedural powers to secure electronic

evidence for use in criminal proceedings (corresponding to Articles 16 to 21 Budapest Convention and

subject to the safeguards of Article 15) is a more complex undertaking.

Procedural legislation largely in place


All Africa 54 5 9% 10 19% 16 30%

All Americas 35 5 14% 9 26% 12 34%

All Asia 42 8 19% 13 31% 11 26%

All Europe 48 31 65% 39 81% 39 81%

All Oceania 14 1 7% 3 21% 4 29%

All 193 50 26% 74 38% 82 42%

Progress was made during the past seven years and by Feb 2020 some 42% of States had specific

powers largely in place. However, many States still rely on general procedural law provisions (for

search, seizure and so on) to investigate cybercrime and secure electronic evidence.

Again, Governments may be reluctant to adopt specific procedural powers without the capacity of their

authorities to apply them in practice, and further capacity building would be needed to advance.

4 Links to the Budapest Convention

By Feb 2020, 38% of UN Member States were either Parties or Signatories to the Budapest

Convention or had been invited to accede. These 74 States were thus members or observers in the

Cybercrime Convention Committee (T-CY). There is thus consistent progress in terms of membership.

Party, signatory or invited to accede


All Africa 54 3 6% 8 15% 10 19%

All Americas 35 8 23% 11 31% 12 34%

All Asia 42 2 5% 4 10% 4 10%

All Europe 48 43 90% 46 96% 46 96%

All Oceania 14 1 7% 2 14% 2 14%

All 193 57 30% 71 37% 74 38%

Beyond membership, the Budapest Convention now appears to serve almost 80% of States worldwide

as a guideline or at least as a source inspiring domestic legislation, as reflected in the structure or

concepts used for at least some provisions.

Use of Budapest Convention as guideline or source


All Africa 54 21 39% 33 61% 38 70%

All Americas 35 22 63% 24 69% 26 74%

All Asia 42 25 60% 27 64% 28 67%

All Europe 48 46 96% 47 98% 47 98%

All Oceania 14 10 71% 11 79% 14 100%

All 193 124 64% 142 74% 153 79%

The T-CY is an important forum in which more than 74 States are now able to participate. One reason

for the influence of the Budapest Convention beyond these States is that many more States are

benefiting from capacity building activities.

By Feb 2020, some 178 States had thus participated in Council of Europe activities on cybercrime in

recent years.
