In December 2024 all UN member countries voted in favor of "UN Cybercrime Treaty" which binds signatories to adopt a legislation to force you to give cops your passwords and other credentials.

The UN isn't a world government, it has no power to affect your nation's laws. If your legislature legislates this into existence, it's on them.


Eh, I see the language "urges" in there regarding putting it into force. It would still need to pass Congress etc. and my guess is that such a provision would face massive domestic pushback.
