Replies received from Governments Armenia [Original: English] [13 May 2020] Armenia attaches great importance to open, free, stable and secure cyberspace based on full compliance with the principles and norms of international law and the Charter of the United Nations, in their entirety. Taking into account the global nature of cyberspace, it is important to protect human rights and freedoms online, particularly the freedom of opinion and expression, which includes the right to seek, receive and impart information. Meanwhile, the challenges stemming from the use of information and communications technologies (ICTs) and the cyberenvironment are wide and diverse. Therefore, the international community should stand united in its response to prevent the misuse of ICTs and contribute to their peaceful and cooperative use. Having this in mind, Armenia is actively engaged in international cooperative platforms to enhance transparency, predictability and stability in cyberspace and reduce the risks of threats stemming from the use of ICTs. Armenia is fully committed to the thorough implementation of the Council of Europe Convention on Cybercrime and its Additional Protocol on the criminalization of acts of a racist and xenophobic nature committed through computer systems. Since 2019, Armenia has been actively involved in the implementation o f the European Union and Council of Europe joint CyberEast project aimed at increasing capacities on cyberresilience, criminal justice and electronic evidence.
