The concluding negotiating session of the Ad Hoc Committee (AHC) to elaborate a UN cybercrime convention will reconvene at the United Nations in New York July 29 through August 9. UN Member States will participate in this reconvened concluding session with the goal of finalizing the convention for subsequent adoption. Ambassador (ret.) Deborah McCarthy will lead the U.S. delegation and serve as lead negotiator for the session. The U.S. delegation includes officials from the Departments of State and Justice.

The United States is seeking a consensus-based cybercrime convention that will assist practitioners in fighting cybercrime and fully protect and promote human rights.
