International Standards on High-Tech (Cyber) Crime and Their Implementation in Serbia
Keywords:
high-tech (cyber) crime, interne, legislation, Europe, SerbiaAbstract
Contemporary life conditions are followed by new, complex types of crime, demanding an appropriate societal reaction in order to prevent or diminish the consequences caused by these new types of crime. High-tech (cyber) crime has been recognised as criminal behaviour and placed into the focus of many national and international institutions and organisations over the past two decades. This paper aims to determine the terms and forms of cybercrime, as well as to give a preview of international legislation, as a basis for the appropriate addressing of cybercrime. The Cybercrime Convention, presented in 2001 by the Council of Europe, stands as a pillar in combating cybercrime. Besides CoE, significant contributions to combating cybercrime were made by international actors such as the European Union, G8, UN, WIPO, ITU and WTO. Serbia signed the Cybercrime Convention in 2005, but ratification of this document hasn't been done yet. Domestic legislation has already been adopted in line with the Convention recommendations, as well as institutions for the legislative implementation of cybercrime, like the Special Prosecution for High-Tech Crime, the Ministry of Interior's special department. for combating high-tech crime and others.
