Abstract
On 31 August 1990, an International Symposium on the Prevention and Prosecution of Computer Crime was held in Havana, Cuba, as an Ancillary Meeting of the Eighth United Nations Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the Treatment of Offenders. Sponsored by the Foundation for Responsible Computing, 1 the Symposium brought together experts from various regions of the world - Argentina, Canada, Federal Republic of Germany (as it then was), Saudi Arabia and Singapore - all of whom expressed deep concern at the scope of the challenge and the pervasiveness of the threat posed by computer crime. The experts were also unanimous in expressing a need for remedies at an international level, as an integral component of a comprehensive response to the universal implications posed by interference in computer networks and computer-based systems. Brian Bawden reports with the following summary of the proceedings.
