24/7 Points of contact
An
important provision of the Convention on Cybercrime is Article 35, that
is, the creation of points of contact available 24 hours a day, seven
days a week, to facilitate international cooperation. Parties to the
Convention are thus to establish such 24/7 contact points. This Article
is very much based on the experience of the G8 which established a
network of such contact points already in 1997 and which currently
comprises some 48 members. A number of these are States are Party to the
Convention. |
