[governance] oversight smt

[Jovan Kurbalija]

Just one factual correction

The Cybercrime convention entered into force on 1.7.2004. Therefore it is
international treaty. 


It seems that there is a terminological confusion on international
treiaties. Here is a brief comment....

Signature - expression to be part of a treaty (not yet legally binding for
signatory states)

Ratification - legal consent to be boundy by particular treaty (usually
adopted by the highest political authority in national states).

Entry into Force - after significan number of reatifications is received
(usually 5 in the Council of Europe)

So far, the Cybercrime Convention is signed 42 and ratified by 11 countries.
