Under the leadership of PILON's Cybercrime Working Group, representatives from ten Pacific Island nations (Cook Islands, Fiji, Kiribati, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Republic of Marshall Islands, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tonga and Vanuatu) convened in Vanuatu for elaborated discussions on the development of a comprehensive Cybercrime Legislation Implementation Handbook. The insights and recommendations gathered from these discussions will directly contribute to the development of the handbook specifically tailored for Pacific Island countries.
This practical resource aims to bridge the critical gap between legislation and its enforcement, equipping countries in the region with the tools and strategies needed to draft, effectively apply and implement cybercrime laws in real-world scenarios.
The handbook development continues with ongoing support from regional partners and stakeholders such as the Australian Attorney General’s Department and the GLACY-e project. The final concluding meeting will be held in June 2026, before its envisaged dissemination of the handbook during the PILON Annual Meeting 2026.
