Supply chain security
States should not exploit their dominant position in ICTs, including dominance in resources, critical ICT
infrastructures and core technologies, ICT goods and services to undermine other states’ right to independent
control of ICT goods and services as well as their security.
States should prohibit ICT goods and services providers from illegal obtainment of users’ data, control and
manipulation of users’ devices and systems by installing backdoors in goods. States should also prohibit ICT goods
and services providers from seeking illegitimate interests by taking advantage of users’ dependence to their
products, or forcing users to upgrade their systems or devices. States should request ICT goods and services
providers to make a commitment that their cooperation partners and users would be noticed in a timely manner if
serious vulnerabilities are detected in their products.
States should be committed to upholding a fair, just and non-discriminatory business environment. States should
not use national security as a pretext for restricting development and cooperation of ICTs and limiting the market
access for ICT products and the export of high-tech products.
Counter-terrorism
States should prohibit terrorist organizations from using the Internet to set up websites, online forums and blogs
to conduct terrorist activities, including manufacturing, publication, storage, and broadcasting of terrorist audio
and video documents, disseminating violent terrorist rhetoric and ideology, fund-raising, recruiting, inciting
terrorist activities etc.
States should conduct intelligence exchanges and law-enforcement cooperation on countering terrorism. For
instance, one state should store and collect relevant online data and evidence in a timely manner upon request
from other states for cyber-related terrorism cases, provide assistance in investigation and deliver prompt response.
States should develop cooperative partnership with international organizations, enterprises and citizens in fighting
cyber terrorism.
States should request Internet service providers to cut off the online dissemination channel of terrorist content by
closing propaganda websites and accounts and deleting terrorist and violent extremist content.
Croatia, Finland, France and Slovenia
States should be encouraged to take measures to prevent non-State actors, including the private sector, from
conducting ICT activities for their own purposes or those of other non-State actors to the detriment of third parties
including those located on another State’s territory.
This aim could be achieved by working with the private sector to define permissible actions using a risk-based
approach and to develop concrete tools - certification processes, best-practices guides, response mechanisms to
incidents and, as appropriate, national regulations.
Cuba
This situation calls for the implementation of specific regulations complementary to international law aimed, among
others, at the following equally important elements:
Preventing the application of unilateral measures and measures against states measures that hinder universal
access to the benefits offered by ICTs.
Mitigating the malignant effects of attribution in the face of cyber-attacks.
Preventing the militarization of cyberspace.
Protecting citizens' private data more effectively by promoting international regulations in this respect.
Complementing legislation on cyberterrorism in order to face cybersecurity incidents and problems, such as
cyberattacks.Define by consensus what is understood by a cyberattack.
Operationalizing the application, with greater objectivity, of the principles of international law in this area.
