This episode reflects on what was supposed to be the concluding session of the UN’s ad Hoc committee that had been set up to negotiate a new convention on cybercrime. Following seven negotiating sessions over two years, each lasting two weeks and costing almost a million dollars each for the UN, member states have not come to agreement on what the convention should do, or even what it should be called. Ian talks to Summer Walker and Ana Paula Oliveira, who represented GI-TOC at the 7th AHC in January and February, to get their take on what happened, hear their insights they drew from being in the room, and talk about what happens next. Presenter: Ian Tennant, Director of Multilateral Engagement, Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime Guests: Summer Walker, Head of Multilateral Affairs, NY, Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime Ana Paula Oliveira, Senior Analyst, Global Initiative against Transnational Organized Crime Additional Reading A dream deferred or a near miss?
