Cybercrime has emerged as a significant threat to global security and stability. As a member of
INTERPOL, Tajikistan recognizes the importance of addressing this pressing issue. This position paper
outlines Tajikistan's perspective on combating cybercrime, highlighting our country's stance, and
presenting practical solutions to mitigate the problem.

II. Overview of the Problem

Cybercrime poses a grave challenge to nations worldwide, endangering critical infrastructures, financial
systems, and individuals' privacy. The rapid advancement of technology has facilitated the proliferation of
cyber threats, necessitating collective action to counter this menace. Cybercriminals exploit
vulnerabilities, engage in hacking, identity theft, and online fraud, thereby jeopardizing international
security. The need for effective measures to combat cybercrime is evident.

III. Tajikistan's Perspective

Tajikistan firmly believes in the urgency of combating cybercrime through a comprehensive approach. We
recognize the gravity of the issue and are committed to actively addressing it. As a country, our stance on
the topic is as follows:

a) Supportive Measures: Tajikistan supports concerted international efforts to combat cybercrime. We

believe in the significance of sharing best practices, intelligence, and technological expertise to enhance
global cybersecurity.
b) Legislative Reforms: Tajikistan has implemented robust legislation to tackle cybercrime within its
jurisdiction. Our laws are designed to punish cybercriminals, safeguard critical infrastructure, and protect
our citizens' privacy. We encourage other nations to strengthen their legislative frameworks to effectively
address cyber threats.
c) International Cooperation: Tajikistan places great importance on international cooperation to combat
cybercrime. We actively engage with INTERPOL and other nations to exchange information, coordinate
investigations, and jointly tackle cyber threats. By fostering collaboration, we can leverage collective
intelligence and resources to counter cybercriminal activities more effectively.

IV. Solutions
To address the challenges posed by cybercrime, Tajikistan proposes the following solutions:
a) Strengthening Law Enforcement: Nations must enhance the capabilities of their law enforcement
agencies by providing specialized training and resources to combat cybercrime. Tajikistan advocates for
increased investments in cybercrime investigation units and the establishment of international platforms
for sharing expertise and best practices.
b) Public-Private Partnerships: Building strong partnerships between governments, private sector entities,
and civil society organizations is crucial. Tajikistan encourages the establishment of public-private
collaborations to exchange knowledge, share information on emerging threats, and develop joint
initiatives to enhance cybersecurity.
c) Education and Awareness: Promoting cybersecurity education and awareness is essential. Tajikistan
emphasizes the need for educational programs that equip individuals, especially young people, with
digital literacy skills and knowledge about online risks. Public awareness campaigns should highlight the
importance of safe online practices and empower individuals to protect themselves against cyber threats.

V. Conclusion
Tajikistan is committed to actively combatting cybercrime and working collaboratively with INTERPOL
and other nations to ensure global cybersecurity. By adopting a comprehensive approach that combines
legislative reforms, international cooperation, and public-private partnerships, we can effectively mitigate
cyber threats. Tajikistan looks forward to fruitful discussions and cooperative actions within this
committee to strengthen international efforts against cybercrime.
