Experts’ Working Group on Cyber Security (EWG on CS) which was held in
Wellington, New Zealand, on 15-18 November 2017 and took note of the outcomes

to overcome this challenge, the Meeting noted that there had been a
recommendation for the ADMM-Plus members to undertake exercises and
workshops focusing on cyber law, as well as to review the possibility of establishing
