United Nations member states are negotiating the UN Cybercrime Convention to counter cybercrimes.<\/span><\/p>\n

This convention has been under negotiation for three years and is expected to be ratified at the UN General Assembly in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is India\u2019s stand on the negotiations on the UN Cybercrime Convention?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Firstly, <\/b>India has proposed changes in provisions related to the transfer of “personal data” in the Draft UN Cybercrime Convention.<\/span><\/p>\n

They suggested that the transfer of personal data under the convention should be governed by\u00a0 domestic laws rather than other international laws.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2013 <\/span>Note:<\/b> India’s <\/span>Digital Personal Data Protection Act says that personal data can be processed \u201cin the interest of sovereignty and integrity of India or security of the state\u201d for \u201cfulfilling any obligation under law\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thirdly, <\/b>India has <\/span>agreed to the clause in the convention that state parties may transfer personal data to a third country only with the prior written authorisation of the original transferring state party.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
