Crime treaties and LEA cooperation
| Instrument | Role | Ceiling / note |
|---|---|---|
| UN Convention against Cybercrime (adopted 24 Dec 2024) | Global criminal-justice treaty; open for signature to 31 Dec 2026 | Tech-neutral offence framing; Art. 65 needs 40 Parties (+90 days) for EIF. As of late Oct 2026: ~96 signatories, 3 Parties (Qatar, Azerbaijan, Viet Nam). |
| Ad Hoc Committee — CSP rules + supplementary protocol | Follow-on negotiation (rules 2026; protocol sessions from 2027) | Additional offences possible — still inside the crime-cooperation family. |
| Budapest Convention (Council of Europe, 2001) + protocols | Regional origin, broad accession practice | Different politics and accession path than the UN instrument. |
| Malabo / Arab / CIS (Minsk, Yekaterinburg) instruments | Regional criminal-justice alternatives | Fragmentation = parallel channels with distinct mandates. |
