So has Australia, the EU, and the UK [0].

That said, being a signatory has limited impact as long as it isn't ratified.

Yeah, but normally when you sign something its because you intend to ratify it in short order.

Not true. Plenty of UN treaties have been signed but stalled on ratification.

True, but there is still a general expectation that if you sign you intend to make a good faith effort to ratify. There being plenty of exceptions (a country not engaging with int law in good faith! How shocking) doesnt change that i think most of the time signers do try to ratify.

The EU has their own cybercrime treaty: https://commission.europa.eu/law/cross-border-cases/judicial...

But you'll never hear a peep from "no logs at all costs" VPN companies based in the EU.

403 error.

Now that's concerning. Europe doesn't want me to know what the law is in the place where I am.

It’s actually a fairly common topic discussed by privacy advocates, including VPN companies

E-Evidence sharing is just a subset of the broader UN Cybercrime treaty which has been signed.
