Dr. Albert Antwi-Boasiako’s Book on Ghana’s Cybersecurity Featured at 15th UN Congress in Abu Dhabi

Ghana’s significant strides in digital security have gained international recognition at the 15th United Nations Congress on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice. A seminal book by Dr. Albert Antwi-Boasiako, titled "The Republic: A Professional Journey, Ghana’s Cybersecurity and the Making of a Role Model Country," was selected for exhibition during the high-profile event held in Abu Dhabi from September 26 to October 1, 2026. Recommended by the UN Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (CCPCJ), the publication highlights Ghana's successful evolution into a regional leader in cybersecurity and its commitment to international standards of digital safety.

Published in November 2025, the book provides a comprehensive reflection on the development of Ghana’s cybersecurity framework and the strategic collaborations that underpinned its growth. During the congress, the work was featured among a select group of publications aimed at inspiring global cooperation toward building just and secure societies. Dr. Antwi-Boasiako emphasized that the book represents a documentation of the collective achievements of various stakeholders and individuals who have contributed to the nation’s digital defenses, framing Ghana's journey as a blueprint for other nations seeking to secure their digital frontiers.

The recognition of this work carries long-term implications for Ghana’s international standing in the technology and security sectors. Following the conclusion of the congress, a copy of the book will be permanently preserved in the CCPCJ’s historical collections and housed in a library in Abu Dhabi for future reference. This preservation ensures that the insights from Ghana’s cybersecurity journey will remain accessible to global policymakers and security experts, solidifying the country’s reputation as a role model for developing nations in the realm of crime prevention and digital justice.
