Summary/Abstract: The evolution and revolution of information and communication technologies brought great advantages for all domains of our modern society; however, in parallel, an evolution and a revolution in high-tech crime was noted. Powerful digital technologies made the Internet not only the source of information, communication, entertainment or education, but also an arena for crime, cyberspace being now a real magnet for all sorts of criminals. The consequences of cybercrimes can be very serious. Clearly, effectively combating cybercrime will require global cooperation, involving a much broader group of countries than the current signatories of the Council of Europe’s Convention on Cybercrime. In this study, we argue that part of the solution to these problems is the adoption of a Global Treaty on Cybercrime, that would address the global nature of the phenomenon. This Global Treaty would represent the required legal framework globally applicable and interoperable with the existing national and regional laws and regulations, and include intellectual property rights infringement, cyberstalking, malware dissemination and other forms of cybercrime that are not in the Convention on Cybercrime.
