A/HRC/42/58 technologies for criminal purposes” was approved by the majority of votes. He emphasized that the main idea of the document on the initial level is to start relevant wide political discussion within the United Nations General Assembly in New York on the issue of misuse of ICT. The resolution provides an inclusion of the issue “Countering the Use of Information and Communication Technologies for Criminal Purposes” on the provisional agenda of its 74th session and requests the Secretary-General to present a report to the General Assembly at its 74th session. 49. In conclusion, Mr. Chernukhin stressed that publication and dissemination of extremist statements as well as holding racists or xenophobes flesh mobs, cross-border computer attacks on critical infrastructure can be used to heat up the situation in any county to the point of “social explosion”. He concluded that the ability to uphold human rights in the information sphere is being held hostage to the absence of universal international legal basis under the United Nations auspices. Such a globally reaching problem should be resolved by the whole international community under the auspices and leading discussion forum of the United Nations, where all States will be able to speak and to bring their proposals with the consideration to the sovereign rights and peculiarities of their legal systems. In this way, it would be possible to set up a reliable platform for discussion of the conceptual aspects of international cooperation in countering cybercrime on the basis of the world wide use of pre-existing specialised regional legal instruments as well as exchange of best practices in this sphere. Mr. Chernukhin expressed hope that all this will serve as a next step towards a world without cybercriminals. 50. During the interactive discussions, the representative of the Republic of the Gambia thanked Mr. Chernukhin for the presentation and pointed out few questions. Firstly he wanted to clarify how the figure of mentioned in the presentation forty millions of cybercriminals existing nowadays has been got, weather it is any specific criteria that was used to label them as cybercriminals and is there any segregated data on how these forty millions of cybercriminals are divided into categories. The delegate also noted that the Russian Federation is a member of the United Nations Security Council and wondered why the five permanent members could not lead on the issue of cybercrime, which is in such an importance. He clarified that he is talking not only about the crime committed but also about the various forms of crime in terms of reputation and in terms of inciting hate and developing another lay of racism, that as they thought had been denounced. The ChairRapporteur raised the question about the successful examples of combating terrorists and pulling down their websites, wondered how successful it was with the ISIL and weather this experience can be extended to other organisations and the cyberspace in general. 51. In response, Mr. Ernest Chernukhin noted that as to the figures, this is an information from independent professional organisations that adopt their professional statistics gathering approach. He continued that according to independent experts of Interpol and Europol the economic crimes are in the heart of all of cybercrimes, therefore the challenge faced before our law enforcements is to identify, arrest and retrain the cyberhooligans. Answering the second question Mr. Chernukhin expressed regret that the question of ICT security has never been included into the agenda of the United Nations Security Council and recommended to the representative of Gambia that his State could raise an issue of ICT security to be considered by the UN Security Council. He underlined that this is a topic that has a long deserved consideration as a standalone political issue. In his response to the Chairperson-Rapporteur Mr. Chernukhin emphasised that the terrorist organisation ISIL and other organisations operated on certain territories have raised this problem to the highest level. Terrorists themselves have found new ways of using internet for their own ends. He noted that terrorist cells are very effective in recruiting. Terrorists have started to encrypt their own networks, their own cells and therefore in countering terrorist activity the security services of many States have united and showed a good example of how to work. He concluded that, in view of the reports of security services, the trend is that we are unlikely to see any significant improvements soon however, an effective cooperation on this basis need to be achieved. 52. At its 5th meeting on 10 April, the Ad Hoc Committee continued its consideration of agenda item 5 on “Racism, in modern information and communication technologies (racial 27
