The United Nations Ad Hoc Committee (AHC) has successfully concluded its meeting with the agreement on a Draft United Nations Convention Against Cybercrime. The draft, finalized during the reconvened session held from July 29 to August 9, 2024, will soon be presented to the UN General Assembly for formal adoption. The convention aims to enhance international cooperation in tackling cybercrime and facilitate the sharing of electronic evidence related to serious offenses.

The application is part of a broader centralized system that will integrate essential institutions, including hospitals, schools, and police stations. Mr. Kumis emphasized the importance of a locally developed application, stating, “PNG Biometric App must be created by a Papua New Guinean that understands our people, culture, and processes.” He argued that local expertise is crucial for understanding the unique needs and circumstances of Papua New Guineans, rather than relying on foreign solutions. |
