The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) sent a letter in December in response to an open letter they received expressing concern about the United Nations Convention against Cybercrime [*]. In this letter, EDPB writes that the same issue is addressed in the ‘Going Dark’ opinion previously issued by EDPB:

With regard to the concerns raised in the open letter, I wish to draw your attention to the fact that the EDPB has recently issued a Statement on the recommendations of the High-Level Group on Access to Data for Effective Law Enforcement. As this statement directly addresses the issues you have highlighted, we would refer you to this document for further information on the position of the EDPB on the matter. Please see in particular section 3, which addresses data security and encryption.

While, at this stage, the EDPB does not intend to issue a specific statement on the United Nations Convention against Cybercrime, the EDPB will continue to follow the matter very closely.
