Is Mongolia Ready to Join Budapest Convention on Cybercrime?

Abstract

It is not right to consider that cybercrime which contains transnational features is not a subject to jurisdiction of any given country for it possesses power to inflict damages to infrastructures of more than one nation. Therefore, it has become essential to have active multilateral cooperation in international law in order to conduct efficient fight against cybercrime requires1. In such circumstances, Mongolia is required to have active participation in the international cooperation to provide safety measures or security system on cybercrime, too. And the legal basis for the multilateral cooperation of cyber security is the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime which allows non-European Union member states to join. There are 21 member states (parties) outside the European Union in the Convention, so far2.
