signed by 30 countries, but is only law in eight of these.
The message at a conference organized by the Council of Europe
last month was that governments must do more to deal with Internet

point that international cooperation is essential for prosecuting
cybercrime, Ulrich Sieber, head of the Max Planck Institute for Foreign
and International Criminal Law, said: "Effective prosecution with
[only] national remedies is all but impossible in a global space."
