31.03.2020 critical infrastructure or otherwise impairs the use and operation of critical infrastructure to provide services to the public’. - Austria further believes that the discussions at the OEWG on further implementation of the existing UNGGE reports have benefitted greatly from the contributions of other interested stakeholders during the informal sessions. We would therefore welcome if the Chair could find a way to reflect this input in the outcome of the OEWG. 6. Existing and potential threats - Austria strongly promotes the peaceful use of new technology and strictly opposes the development or use of offensive ICT capabilities that could harm innocent civilian lives. - Austria hence proposes to include reference to these threats in, in particular of those deriving from the abuse of new technologies for military gains.” 7. Confidence building measures and capacity building - Austria supports the concrete proposals contained in the recommendations on confidence building measures (CBMs) and capacity building, such as the consideration of a centralized UN database or platform bringing together requests for assistance, on the one hand, and existing cyber capacity-building tools, on the other as well as a global registry of National Points of Contacts as the first global CBM. - In this context, Austria considers the continued involvement of regional organisations into the work at UN level very important, in order to foster cross-regional cooperation and exchange of experiences on the development and operationalisation of CBMs and capacity building. 8. Regular institutional dialogue: - While the purpose, financing and participation of a regular institutional dialogue would have to be discussed further, Austria considers that the following principles need to be observed: consensus and results-oriented basis, expert involvement and openness to stakeholder participation as well as non-duplication of work done in other fora.
