22nd Session of the OSCE PA 2013

RESOLUTION ON CYBER SECURITY


Recalling that in the contemporary world modern  societies significantly depend on cyberspace and the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), which has reshaped the global security environment;
Recognizing the fact that cyber attacks in any form have become a serious security threat that jeopardizes the social and economic prosperity deriving from the use of ICTs;  

Underlining that insecurity in the global  cyberspace is an obstacle for further economic development, innovation and social prosperity;

Recognizing that cyber attacks can be a society-wide challenge, including governments, private companies, non-governmental organisations and private Internet users because they may destabilize society, jeopardize the availability of public services and the functioning of vital state infrastructure;

Reiterating that any country that relies extensively on cyberspace can be influenced by cyber attacks in the same way as by conventional aggression;

Stressing that meeting the new demands of the changed security environment is a challenge for every country in the world;

Recognising that the continuing globalization and interoperability of information systems will make cyberspace even more vulnerable and that the existing policies and strategies may not correspond sufficiently to this increased vulnerability;

Recognizing the previous work done in the OSCE with respect to various aspects of cyber-security, in particular the OSCE Informal Working Group Established by Permanent Council Decision 1039, tasked to elaborate a set of draft confidence-building measures (CBMs) to enhance interstate co-operation, transparency, predictability and stability, and to reduce the risks of misperception, escalation and conflict that may stem from the use of ICTs;

Underlining the  need for the international community to increase co-operation and information exchange in the field of cyber security because only with joint and coordinated efforts is  possible to effectively respond to the threats originating from cyberspace;

Stressing that the 2001 Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime is the only legally binding multilateral instrument specifically addressing computer-related crime, but that it has been ratified or acceded to by only 39 states;
