Abstract In recent years, the cyberattacks on international organizations were on the rise. The “Einformation” of international organizations also impacted the criminal jurisdiction in the “Headquarters Agreement”. For the host country, there may be a jurisdiction vacuum when the attacker is from outside its territoryaccording to the jurisdiction arrangement in the existing “Headquarters Agreement”. For the member states, they should have the right to assert extraterritorial criminal jurisdiction on the basis of the principle of protectionwhen the attacker affects the basic functions of international organizations, hinders the foreign cooperation of the member states and infringes their national interests. So, to protect the operation of international organizations and the rights and interests of their member states, the criminal jurisdiction rules in the “Headquarters Agreement” should be improved.
