Japan [Original: English] [27 July 2017] Japan believes that cyberspace should be a space where freedom is assured without unnecessary restrictions and where all actors who wish to access it are neither denied nor excluded without legitimate reason. Japan ’s efforts comply with the following five principles; free flow of information, rule of law, openness, self governance and a multi-stakeholder approach. Based on the cybersecurity strategy established in September 2015, Japan makes efforts to strengthen information security. Japanese efforts consist of the following three pillars; promoting the rule of law in cyberspace, confidence-building measures and capacity-building. With regard to the promotion of the rule of law, Japan proactively contributes to international discussion to promote common understanding that the existing international law is applicable in cyberspace, as well as development of voluntary, non-binding norms. They are the basis for ensuring the stability and predictability of the international community. Given the unique characteristics of information and communications technology, further clarification is needed on how individual rules and principles would be applied. In advancing confidence-building measures, securing transparency and information-sharing is necessary; however, the level of measures taken varies from State to State, as each State has the authority to determine th e level at their disposal. Japan is engaged in the promotion of confidence-building through bilateral dialogue and multilateral frameworks such as the Regional Forum of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Study of the ways to lead tangible cooperation is necessary. With regard to capacity-building, Japan has been promoting the development of laws, statutes and policy frameworks for cybersecurity, and has been engaging in the assurance of cybersecurity of governmental bodies, CII operators; measure s against cybercrime; human resources development to foster cybersecurity experts; and research and development of cybersecurity technologies. Based on these experiences and accumulated knowledge, Japan will further proactively cooperate on capacity-building.
