Parliament approved on Tuesday the bill on Tunisia’s accession to the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime, with 115 votes for, 9 against and 12 abstentions.
As a reminder, Tunisia officially submitted to the Council of Europe in October 2017 a request to join the Budapest Cybercrime Convention, considered the most relevant international agreement on cybercrime and electronic evidence.
The Budapest Convention provides for the criminalization of several behaviours varying from illegal access and violation of the integrity of data and systems to computer-related fraud and child pornography; criminal law tools to investigate cybercrime cases and amass and secure electronic evidence concerning any crime; and efficient international cooperation.
Note that 69 countries are currently members of the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime.
