INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT
The lack of a cybersecurity culture and responsibility in the use of ICTs can create
constant risks and threats in cyberspace. The vulnerability of information systems can
seriously affect people, their information, their assets, their reputation and even their
dignity. Globalization and hyperconnectivity demand solutions focused on
international collaboration in a precise, efficient, and effective manner.
Given the complexity of society in the digital age and the challenges posed by the
use and exploitation of ICT in the information society, it is important to raise the issue
of cybersecurity from an international context perspective. Within the United Nations
(UN), the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) promotes a people-centered
vision,6 both in its first two phases, carried out in 2003 and 2005, as in the process of
reviewing the implementation of its results, in 2015.7
The Group of Governmental Experts (GGE)8 was created to analyze the threats,
challenges and dimensions of cybersecurity, as well as to consolidate
recommendations and guidelines on the peaceful use of ICTs, the application of
international law in cyberspace, voluntary standards, measures for the promotion of
trust and stability, and the strengthening of national capacities. Mexico is part of the
GGE.
The Commission on Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice (CCPCJ) prepared a study
on cybercrimes, which seeks to strengthen the exchange of experiences and good
practices and generate opportunities for cooperation and technical assistance for
tactical and operational support to the States against criminal uses of ICT, including
the Internet.9
