British MP Seeking UN’s Help to Reduce Cyber Crime
Speaking at the Webroot Spyware Summit in London on Thursday, Dr Nick Palmer, Labour MP and secretary of the All Party Parliamentary Internet Group (Apig) opined for Help of UN Body to Fight Against Cyber Crime.
He said in his speech,”The UN needs to have a body to ask ISPs not to link to servers from Colombia or Guyana that are hosting child pornography.”
Internet experts say that the international cyber criminals are exploiting the gaps between the jurisdictions of individual countries.
If a crime involves a complex international web of criminal activity, it can be difficult to gather sufficient evidence for a conviction, according to Howard Lamb, crime reduction co-ordinator for the National Hi-Tech Crime Unit (NHTCU).
Palmer admitted that in countries which were not politically stable enough there would always be problems with any kind of international co-operation.
Police forces are already co-operating against offences such as online child abuse with initiatives such as the Virtual Global Taskforce, a “one-stop shop” website for children to report online paedophilia, launched by police from Australia, Canada, the UK and the US.
