Enhancing International Cooperation for Law Enforcement

There is widespread agreement that the Internet is an essential economic enabler for competition at the global level, and it follows that a country’s national policies that would result in placing limitations on its ability to use the Internet is an act of self-harm. On the other hand, there is also broad agreement that the growing presence of crime in cyberspace is unacceptable, and that something has to be done. However, because a global treaty is a huge undertaking that would play out for many years, EWI is asking the question as to whether there is not something at a less grand scale that could provide significant near term, tangible amelioration to the problem at hand.
