United Nations Study on the Problem of Cybercrime 

I write to ask you to consider reminding your members about the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) Comprehensive Study on the Problem of and Response to Cybercrime recently mandated by United Nations General Assembly Resolution 65/230.  The current deadline for completed questionnaires to be uploaded to the UNODC Cybercrime portal is 30 June 2012.

This study was recently launched by the UNODC Executive Director at the World Economic Forum in Davos. Member states will look to the completed study with a view to strengthen existing and to propose new national and international legal or other responses to cybercrime. As you may recall from previous correspondence, UNODC is currently inviting selected private sector organizations to complete a questionnaire related to their experience and perceptions of cybercrime. The questionnaire represents a unique opportunity for private sector organizations to ensure that their views are reported and reflected in the study.

Potential participants should register at www.unodc.org/cybercrime-study as soon as possible to download a survey for completion.

Be assured that information provided in response to the questionnaire will be processed solely for the purposes of the cybercrime study; it will not be attributed to organizations directly by name without prior authorization.

Thank you very much in advance for your valuable cooperation.

Sincerely,


Robyn Mace
