<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.5pt; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><b>Background to the African Union
Convention on Cyber Security (AUCC)</b><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.5pt; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">African Union (AU) convention (52 page document) seeks to
intensify the fight against cybercrime across Africa in light of increase in
cybercrime, and a lack of mastery of security risks by African countries.
Further, that one challenge for African countries is lack of technological
security adequate enough to prevent and effectively control technological
and informational risks. As such “African States are in dire need of innovative
criminal policy strategies that embody States, societal and technical responses
to create a credible legal climate for cyber security”.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.5pt; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">The Convention establishes a framework for cybersecurity in
Africa “through organisation of electronic transactions, protection of personal
data, promotion of cyber security, e-governance and combating cybercrime”
(Conceptual framework).</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.5pt; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.5pt; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;">As an additional reference to the earlier ones, please find attached a letter that was sent to the AU by the Center for Intellectual Property and Information Technology law and Strathmore University school of law.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.5pt; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 16.5pt; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><br></p>
