I have to concur that Agenda Item 109[1] (Countering the use of information and communications technologies for criminal purposes), is vague as feck.

I'm looking forward to the report from the Secretary-General, to get a better understanding on the scope of their intent: Unlawful as per the UN or unlawful as per the member nations.

Interestingly, from the article too:

> Opposition to the resolution came mainly from Australia, Canada, the European Union and the US.

Vague is the name of the UN game.

What does "unlawful per UN" mean?

It means if there’s a violation, a bunch of bureaucrats and guys in blue helmets show up and form committees to decide what color paper should be used to send a very strongly worded letter.
