Journal of Cyber Policy, 2019, vol. 4, issue 2, 197-215

Abstract: Efforts have been made in recent years to ensure there is sufficient capacity within nation states to respond to, and combat, Online Child Sexual Exploitation (OCSE). The UK-led WeProtect Global Alliance initiative has outlined a Model National Response (MNR), to which a large number of nations have already committed. OCSE, like cybercrime, is very often a crime with international dimensions. If we could start again knowing what we know now about OCSE, what would a model international response look like? Does this help us identify gaps in the existing international response that can be opportunities for improvement? This article maps an optimal international response to the problem of OCSE. Drawing on and complementing the We Protect Global Alliance Model National Response (MNR), it highlights aspects peculiar to the international nature of OCSE and suggests areas for future operational coordination and research.
