These partnerships will be based on shared values, common interests, and unified positions to cyber threats. Bilateral cooperation will take place through various channels and will be strengthened by efforts to harmonize policies and approaches to cyber security within international organizations and platforms. Detecting malicious activities performed by foreign powers with the goal of violating the sovereignty, territorial integrity, democratic principles, and laws of the Czech Republic and its partners is one of the challenges to strengthening the effectiveness of bilateral cooperation and incorporating unified approaches in practice. The Czech Republic will continue to strengthen cooperation with selected allies through establishing and maintaining close cooperation with relevant foreign bodies and institutions, sharing strategic information, and active representation of the country in relevant international organizations and initiatives. 2.3 International Legal Framework In accordance with its place in the Euro-Atlantic space, the Czech Republic remains resolved to protect the accessibility, openness, interoperability, reliability, and security of cyberspace. As part of its interests and policies, the country will continue to actively contribute towards the creation of EU regulations, especially in light of the current challenges and needs resulting from the activities of state and non-state actors in cyberspace. It is thus primarily necessary to interpret new challenges and legal problems generated by technological development using the long-respected resources of national, international, and EU law, and to adapt state institutions’ procedures to them. A fundamental challenge for the Czech Republic and Euro-Atlantic states will be the creation of a unified approach to interpreting and applying public international law in cyberspace. The Czech Republic will continue to actively participate in this process, as it will in international discussions about non-binding norms of responsible state behaviour with the goal of actively contributing towards stable and responsible behaviour of states in cyberspace. The Czech Republic will emphasise the use of international law to protect human rights in cyberspace. The Czech Republic will responsibly support and assist – in cooperation with partner states – in strengthening cooperation between law enforcement and other bodies providing supranational cooperation in the fight against cybercrime and enabling law enforcement. 2.4 Capabilities and Expertise The Czech Republic confirms its willingness and responsibility to cooperate and actively aid international partners in strengthening security and defence. This will lead to the implementation of specific preventive measures to prevent malicious cyber activities by state and non-state actors. 16
