Burundi's dedicated cybercrime statute, promulgated 16 March 2022 by the President of the Republic, portant prévention et répression de la cybercriminalité au Burundi (on the prevention and repression of cybercriminality in Burundi). The Agence de Régulation et de Contrôle des Télécommunications (ARCT), Burundi's telecommunications regulator, publishes the law on its own site and confirms its title and promulgation date.
