The Register: Russia-pushed UN Cybercrime Treaty may rewrite global law. It's ... not great

Russia, however, Rodriguez said, has objected to the convention for infringing state sovereignty by allowing other nations to investigate cybercrimes in its jurisdiction. So in 2017, Russia proposed negotiating a new treaty, and in 2019 the UN adopted a resolution to do so, backed by Russia, Cambodia, Belarus, China, Iran, Myanmar, Nicaragua, Syria and Venezuela.

Note who wants this to happen, and recall what their attitudes to human rights are.
