A number of States have published national position papers on the application
of international law in cyberspace to further the common understanding of
the interpretation of international law in this domain. Denmark fully supports
these efforts and is pleased to now share its own paper.
The focus of the Danish position paper is on cyberspace in the broad context
of international law, including issues pertaining to state sovereignty, non-intervention, the prohibition on the use of force and international humanitarian law. The position paper supplements Denmark’s views already expressed
in the UN Open-ended Working Group on Information and Communication
Technologies and through the annual reporting to the UN Secretary General.
