Today, Niger was also invited to accede to the Budapest Convention on Cybercrime.

In December 2018, through the Cybercrime@Octopus project, a team of experts visited the national authorities in Niger to assess the progress made towards aligning their cybercrime legislation with the provisions of the Budapest Convention and other international standards.

Now, Niger becomes one of the 10 States that have signed or been invited to accede to the Budapest Convention. There are currently 65 Parties to this treaty.
