At the same time some countries (e.g. Russia and China) shared concerns that the current draft does not meet the scope that was established by the mandate of the committee. In particular, these delegations and their like-minded colleagues believe that the current approach in the chair\u2019s draft does not adequately address the evolving landscape of information and communication technologies (ICTs). For instance, Russia shared its <span style=\"color: #e3b969\"><a style=\"color: #e3b969\" href=\"https:\/\/tass.com\/politics\/1663247\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">complaint<\/a><\/span> about the secretariat\u2019s alleged disregard for a proposed article addressing the criminalisation of the use of ICTs for extremist and terrorist purposes. Russia, together with a group of states (e.g. China, Namibia, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and some others), also supported the inclusion of digital assets under Article 16 regarding the laundering of proceeds of crimes. The UK, Tanzania, and Australia opposed the inclusion of digital assets because it does not fall within the scope of the convention. Concerning other articles, Canada, the USA, the EU and its member states, and some other countries also wished to keep the scope more narrow, and opposed proposals, in particular, for articles on international cooperation (i.e. 37, 38, and 39) that would significantly expand the scope of the treaty.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9655458 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9655458\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The use of specific words in each provision, considering the power behind them, is yet another issue that remains uncertain.

This provision requires states to retain the proceeds of crimes, to be disbursed to requesting states to compensate victims. India, however, supported by China, Russia, Syria, Egypt, and Iran proposed that the term \u2018compensation\u2019 be replaced with \u2018restitution\u2019 to avoid further financial burden for states. Additionally, India suggested that \u2018compensation\u2019 shall be at the discretion of national laws and not under the convention. Australia and Canada suggested retaining the word \u2018compensation\u2019 because it would ensure that the proceeds of the crime delivered to requesting states are only used for the compensation of victims.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29c3f97 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"29c3f97\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The bottom line is that terminology and scope, two of the most critical elements of the convention, remain unresolved, needing attention at the session in February 2024.

Another clash happened during discussions about whether the provisions should allow the real-time collection of traffic data and interception of content data (Articles 29 and 30, respectively). While Singapore, Switzerland, Malaysia, and Vietnam proposed removing such powers from the text, other delegations (e.g. Brazil, South Africa, the USA, Russia, Argentina and others) favoured keeping them. The EU stressed that such measures represent a high level of intrusion and significantly interfere with the human rights and freedoms of individuals. However, the EU expressed its openness to consider keeping such provisions, provided that the conditions and safeguards outlined in Articles 24, 36 and 40(21) remain in the text.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-409c3ee elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"409c3ee\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>With regard to data protection in Article 36, CARICOM proposed an amendment allowing states to impose appropriate conditions in compliance with their applicable laws to facilitate personal data transfers.

To address this \u2018loss of location\u2019 issue, Russia suggested referring to the second protocol of the Budapest Convention. The reasoning for this inclusion was to incorporate the concept of data as being in the possession or under the control of a service provider or established through data processing activities operating from within the borders of another state party.

While sustainability was not mentioned in the previous sessions, Australia, China, New Zealand and Yemen, among other countries, proposed that Article 56 should read: \u2018Implementation of the convention through sustainable development and technical assistance\u2019. Costa Rica claimed that such inclusion would link the capacity building under this convention to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)\u201d. Additionally, Paraguay proposed that Article 52(1) should ensure that the implementation of the convention through international cooperation should take into account \u2018negative effects of the offences covered by this Convention on society in general and, in particular, on sustainable development, including the limited access that landlocked countries are facing\u2019.
