On the problem of improving international cooperation in countering cybercrime

The problem of functioning of the mechanism of international cooperation in the field of countering cybercrime is investigated. The concept and main features of cybercrime, the system of international organizations implementing policy and regulatory regulation in the field of combating cybercrime are defined. The fundamental international legal acts defining the interaction of the Russian Federation with foreign states in the field of prevention, detection, disclosure and investigation of cybercrimes are highlighted. The authors conclude about the regional nature, fragmentation and inefficiency of the existing legal framework for international cooperation in countering cybercrime. Proposals are made to improve international criminal law in this area and to improve the quality of international cooperation in preventing, combating and minimizing (eliminating) the consequences of cybercrime.
