Cyprus ratified the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime by Law 22(III)/2004, which sets out the Convention's English and Greek texts as a schedule to the Law and gives them the force of domestic law. Article 2 of the Convention requires each Party to criminalise intentional access without right to the whole or part of a computer system, and Article 13 requires that offences under Articles 2 to 11 carry effective, proportionate and dissuasive sanctions involving deprivation of liberty. The ratifying Law does not itself state a domestic commencement day distinct from its Gazette publication.
