    Une banque de données internationale contre les pédophiles
    05 mai 12:16:32

    Le ministre de l'Intérieur Nicolas Sarkozy a annoncé lors du G8 Intérieur-Justice à Paris la création d'une banque de données internationale permettant de lutter contre la pornographie enfantine.

    PARIS (Reuters) - Nicolas Sarkozy, ministre français de l'Intérieur, a annoncé lors du G8 Intérieur-Justice à Paris la création d'une banque de données internationale permettant de lutter contre la pornographie enfantine.

    Le système déjà utilisé par les services français fait appel à une technologie capable de comparer automatiquement des dizaines de milliers d'images. Il contient pour l'instant 150.000 images mettant en scène des mineurs.

    "La lutte contre la pornographie enfantine, régulièrement débattue dans les enceintes internationales, fait partie depuis plusieurs années des priorités défendues par l'ensemble des gouvernements", précise le document de travail du G8.

    "Pour mieux combattre cette criminalité, les services enquêteurs ont besoin d'une base internationale de données de reconnaissance d'images pornographiques mettant en scène des mineurs", ajoute le texte.

    En France, parallèlement à la surveillance des échanges internet menée par un service spécifique au sein de la direction centrale de la police judiciaire (DCPJ), la Division nationale pour la répression des atteintes aux personnes et aux biens (DNRAPB) participe au développement d'une base nationale des images "pédopornographiques".

    Il a été décidé, depuis la publication d'un rapport du G8 en décembre 2002, d'installer cette base internationale de données au siège d'Interpol, à Lyon.

    Lundi, Ron Noble, secrétaire général d'Interpol, a d'ailleurs fait une intervention sur la pédopornographie devant les ministres du G8.

    Ces derniers ont ensuite préconisé des évolutions techniques permettant aux Etats membres d'Interpol une consultation automatique du système, qui délivrera une réponse immédiate aux services enquêteurs.

    Le logiciel développé par la société française Look That up technologies (LTU) permet d'extraire ce que l'on appelle l'ADN d'une image, c'est-à-dire toutes les informations qu'elle contient (formes, couleurs, textures). Il compare ensuite cet ADN à celui de toutes les images d'une même base de données pour retrouver celles possédant les mêmes caractéristiques.

    Or, souligne un responsable policier, les pédophiles ont souvent l'habitude de se prendre en photo ou de se filmer lorsqu'ils passent à l'acte.

    Le logiciel permet donc aux enquêteurs de faire un lien de manière automatique entre différentes affaires, repérant les points communs concernant les lieux ou les vêtements des pédophiles, par exemple.


    "An international database against paedophiles
    05 mai 12:16:32

    French police minister Nicolas Sarkozy has warned of the creation of an international database allowing to fight against child pornography, during the G8-police-justice summit in Paris

    This system is already in use among the French services, and uses a technology able to compare automatically tens of thousands of pictures. It contains for the moment 150,000 pictures showing children.

    "The fight against child pronography is often debated in international institutions, and is for several years among the priorities held by most governments", explains the G8 working document.

    "To fight this criminality more efficiently, the investigation bureaus need an international database to recognize child pornographic pictures", the text adds.

    In France, along the specific watch of internet flux done by a specific bureau within the judiciary police, another bureau takes part in the development of the database.

    It has been decided since December 2002 to install this international database in Iterpol's offices, in Lyon.

    Monday, Interpol's secretary general Ron Noble, has held a sppech on child pornography in front of the G8's ministers.

    The latters have then suggested the use of technical evolutions allowing the member states an automatic consultation of the system, which will immediately deliver answers to the inverstigators.

    The French-developed software allows to extract the so called DNA of the picture, i.e all the information it contains (colours, shapes, textures). It then compares this DNA to all pictures' in the database to find those having similar features.

    According to a police leader, paedophiles often caption or film themselves while having sex.

    The software allows investigators to link automatically several cases, by noticing the common points between places or clothing, for example."

    I think it is really great news. For too long, the paedophiles have been able to use the international communication media and developed international networks, without an adapted answer from the national authorities.

    I sure hope this database will help the world to get rid of international paedophilia networks

                        Oh, I never thought of the catholic church as the #1 international network of paedophiles. Guess the catholics are trailblazers

                            well this sounds like good news. I especially like the fact that more of the international community is involved in this. For some time I was getting the suspicion that some european countries don't take this problem seriously. I'm glad I'm proved wrong.

                              Nope, you're right Diss. The Vatican has never taken the issue seriosuly

                              More seriously, paedophilia became a real issue in most European coutries only for some decades now. It was either taboo before, and was even at some point tolerated shortly after 1968.

                              IIRC, it's during the 70's that it became fought as it deserves to be, both by the politicians and by the society.

                              Today, I don't see any bit of tolerance to paedophilia in any European public opinion
