On 18 June 2025, Seychelles has been invited to accede to the Convention on Cybercrime (Budapest Convention). The invitation to accede is valid for five years from its adoption.
This is also a result of capacity building activities through the projects of the Cybercrime Programme Office of the Council of Europe (C-PROC). Following this invitation, Seychelles will have observer status in the Cybercrime Convention Committee (T-CY) and may benefit from additional support by the Council of Europe under the Octopus Project and the GLACY-e project.
With this, 80 States are now Parties, two have signed it and 13 have been invited to accede to the Convention. These 95 States are members (Parties) or observers in the Cybercrime Convention Committee (T-CY).
