Additional Protocol to the Convention on Cybercrime
Additional Protocol to the Convention on Cybercrime, concerning the criminalisation of acts of a racist and xenophobic nature committed through computer systems is an additional protocol to the Council of Europe Cybercrime Convention. This additional protocol was the subject of negotiations in late 2001 and early 2002. Final text of this protocol was adopted by the Council of Europe Committee of Ministers on 7 November 2002〔(Frequently asked questions and answers Council of Europe Convention on cybercrime ) by the United States Department of Justice〕 under the title "''Additional Protocol to the Convention on cybercrime, concerning the criminalisation of acts of a racist and xenophobic nature committed through computer systems'', ("Protocol").〔(Protocol to the Convention on cybercrime, concerning the criminalisation of acts of a racist and xenophobic nature committed through computer systems ) on the Council of Europe web site〕 The Protocol opened on 28 January 2003 and entry into force is 1 March 2006. As of December 2014, 22 States have ratified the Protocol and a further 13 have signed the Protocol but have not yet followed with ratification.〔(APCoc Treaty open for signature by the States which have signed the Treaty ETS 185. ) on the Council of Europe web site〕
The Protocol requires participating States to criminalize the dissemination of racist and xenophobic material through computer systems, as well as of racist and xenophobic-motivated threats and insults.〔(Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime: Frequently Asked Questions and Answers ) by the United States Department of Justice. Last update 10 November 2003〕 Article 6, Section 1 of the Protocol specifically covers the denial of the Holocaust and other genocides recognized as such by other international courts set up since 1945 by relevant international legal instruments. Section 2 of Article 6 allows a Party to the Protocol at their discretion only to prosecute if the offense is committed with the intent to incite hatred, discrimination or violence; or to make use of a reservation, by allowing a Party not to apply – in whole or in part – Article 6.〔(Explanatory Report on the additional protocol to the convention on cybercrime )〕
The Council of Europe ''Explanatory Report'' of the Protocol states the "European Court of Human Rights has made it clear that the denial or revision of 'clearly established historical facts – such as the Holocaust – () would be removed from the protection of Article 10 by Article 17' of the ECHR (see in this context the Lehideux and Isorni judgment of 23 September 1998)".〔
Two of the English speaking states in Europe, Ireland and the United Kingdom, have not signed the additional protocol, (the third, Malta, signed on 28 January 2003, but has not yet ratified it).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Additional Protocol to the Convention on cybercrime, concerning the criminalisation of acts of a racist and xenophobic nature committed through computer systems (Chart of signatures and ratifications) Status as of: 28/8/2011 )〕 On 8 July 2005 Canada became the only non-European state to sign the convention. The United States government does not believe that the final version of the Protocol is consistent with the United States' constitutional guarantees and has informed the Council of Europe that the United States will not become a Party to the protocol.〔〔
