NEW YORK\u2013 Indonesia has signed the United Nations Convention against Cybercrime and joined 90 other signatories to the first multilateral treaty aimed at strengthening international cooperation to prevent and combat cybercrime<\/p>\n
Foreign Minister Sugiono signed the treaty on Thursday on the sidelines of the 81st UN General Assembly (UNGA) in New York, the United States, making Indonesia the 91st signatory to the treaty<\/p>\n
Adopted by the UNGA in December 2024, the convention is the first UN treaty to establish a global framework for preventing and combating cybercrime, as well as for cooperation in investigating cross-border offenses and sharing electronic evidence<\/p>\n
Among cybercrimes covered by the convention are online scams, online gambling and child pornography, which have emerged as growing concerns in Indonesia amid the rapid expansion of internet use and digital services<\/p>\n
\u201cFor Indonesia, the convention is important in strengthening efforts to prevent and criminalize cybercrime at the national level,\u201d the Foreign Ministry said on Friday<\/p>\n
The ministry added that the convention would provide a basis for Indonesian law enforcement agencies to strengthen international cooperation in combating cybercrime<\/p>\n
Indonesia, particularly through the country\u2019s representatives in Vienna, was involved in negotiations as negotiators and rapporteurs since the establishment of the UN ad hoc committee for the convention in 2019<\/p>\n
The government will prepare the ratification process and other necessary steps to implement the convention within the national legal framework, the Foreign Ministry went on to say<\/p>\n
Cybercrime has loomed over Indonesia in the past few years, with many Indonesians becoming ensnared in online scam operations in several Southeast Asian countries, such as Myanmar and Cambodia<\/p>\n
Many are recruited for the operations through social media and informal job brokers, who lure the victims with promises of high-paying jobs only to find themselves coerced into working for online scam syndicates. Others have willingly participated in the transboundary criminal activities<\/p>\n
Earlier this year, the National Police said Indonesia may emerge as a new operational hub for transnational online gambling and cyber scam syndicates, with investigators uncovering several cybercrime dens during various raids across the country<\/p>\n
Then-Interpol Indonesia\u2019s secretary Brig. Gen. Untung Widyatmoko noted in May a need for better transnational coordination to curb the growing cybercrime hubs, which was also picked up in the Philippines and Timor-Leste<\/p>\n
