> Experts from these organizations say that the treaty undermines the global human rights of freedom of speech and expression

So, effectively nothing different than what we have today then? Organizations like the CIA / NSA / MI6 etc. exist already which undermine the rights of everyone around the world, everyday.

No. Today Thailand can't request and be allowed to receive data from your ISP in Sweden if you said something bad about their king. Also, Thailand isn't allowed to start a criminal procedure and issue an arrest warrant for that kind of stuff. This basically allows autocrats to silence everyone everywhere, and the democrat states are signing up for it.

Thailand can do whatever it wants today regardless of a U.N. treaty. Extradition deals can be made between countries. Additionally, Thailand can issue arrest warrants for whatever it finds on your social media accounts, whether those are enforceable or not is another question. The article doesn't mention anything about making international enforcement mechanisms easier.

My point is: The majority of our data is being tapped by government entities and can be used against you already. This treaty is just saying the quiet part out loud once again. No one seems to care or else we wouldn't have a massive intelligence apparatus controlling parts of our society.

The treaty amends all existing extradition treaties among signatories and adds offenses to the lists of extraditable crimes.
