An anti-cyber-terrorism conference will be hosted by Abu Dhabi on May 15th-16 under the patronage of H.H. Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation. The aim of the conference will be to find a framework that balances between fundamental human rights and international efforts in combating cyber-terrorism.
The International Conference for the Criminalization of Cyber-Terrorism will focus on developing practical approaches to criminalize cyber-terrorism by furthering cooperation between anti-cyber-terrorism organizations and institutions. Best methods to initiate a comprehensive international legal framework that criminalizes cyber-terrorism will feature high on the event’s agenda.
“The conference is a stepping stone for developing a well-thought out action plan to criminalize cyber-terrorism,” said Dr. Ali Rashid Al Noaimi, Chairman of the Conference Organizing Committee, noting that the event is the first of its kind in the region on account of its high-profile attendance and the critical nature of its agenda.
