A/68/98 Organization and others. In building upon those efforts, States should promote complementarity of measures and facilitate the dissemination of best practices, taking into account the differences among nations and regions. 28. While States must lead in the development of confidence-building measures, their work would benefit from the appropriate involvement of the private sector and civil society. 29. Given the pace of ICT development and the scope of the threat, the Group believes there is a need to enhance common understandings and intensify practical cooperation. In this regard, the Group recommends regular institutional dialogue with broad participation under the auspices of the United Nations, as well as regular dialogue through bilateral, regional and multilateral forums, and other international organizations. V. Recommendations on capacity-building measures 30. Capacity-building is of vital importance to an effective cooperative global effort on securing ICTs and their use. Some States may require assistance in their efforts to: improve the security of critical ICT infrastructure; develop technical skill and appropriate legislation, strategies and regulatory frameworks to fulfil their responsibilities; and bridge the divide in the security of ICTs and their use. 31. In this regard, States working with international organizations, including United Nations agencies and the private sector, should consider how best to provide technical and other assistance to build capacities in ICT security and their use in countries requiring assistance, particularly developing countries. 32. Building on the work of previous United Nations resolutions and reports, including resolution 64/211 on capacity-building, States should consider the following measures: (a) Supporting bilateral, regional, multilateral and international capacity-building efforts to secure ICT use and ICT infrastructures; to strengthen national legal frameworks, law enforcement capabilities and strategies; to combat the use of ICTs for criminal and terrorist purposes; and to assist in the identification and dissemination of best practices; (b) Creating and strengthening incident response capabilities, including CERTs, and strengthening CERT-to-CERT cooperation; (c) Supporting the development and use of e-learning, training and awareness-raising with respect to ICT security to help overcome the digital divide and to assist developing countries in keeping abreast of international policy developments; (d) Increasing cooperation and transfer of knowledge and technology for managing ICT security incidents, especially for developing countries; (e) Encouraging further analysis and study by research institutes and universities on matters related to ICT security. Given their specific mandates to support States Members of the United Nations and the international community, States should consider how the relevant United Nations research and training institutes could play a role in this regard. 10 13-37166
