27. 专家和调查表答复者都关注的一个问题是，现在通过因特网和其他媒介能够广泛获得各种信息，包括化学和爆炸物的制造以及诸如雷管、炸弹和其他装置等的建造的信息(A/54/155，第 30段)。专家组认为这不可能对狡猾的犯罪分子的活动产生影响，因为他们能够通过其他来源获取信息。但这却有可能有助于那些对爆炸物知之甚少的人，例如儿童或没有经验的犯罪分子制造爆炸装置，从而使与爆炸有关的事件增多。专家组还考虑到鉴于产生的各种跨国问题以及诸如国内和国际各种保护言论自由规定的制约，对因特网和类似媒介进行管理方面存在的困难。专家组建议各国可在对待这些问题上酌情考虑采取限制传播这类信息的办法。
27. A concern raised by both experts and respondents to the survey was the fact that the information now becoming widely available through the Internet and other media included information about the chemistry and production of explosive substances and the construction of such things as detonators, bombs and other devices (A/54/155, para. 30). The Group of Experts considered that unlikely to influence the activities of sophisticated offenders, who were able to obtain the information through other sources. It could, however, assist those with little knowledge of explosives, such as children or unsophisticated offenders, in the making of explosive devices, thereby contributing to additional explosive-related incidents. The Group also considered the difficulties of regulating the Internet and similar media, given the transnational issues raised as well as constraints such as the domestic and international provisions protecting the freedom of expression. It recommended that States consider such means of curtailing the dissemination of such information as were appropriate having regard to those issues.
