Goal V
International cyberspace security.
Spain will promote open, plural, secure and trustworthy cyberspace both in its bilateral
relations and in multilateral, regional and international organisations, and in forums
and conferences, where cyberspace plays a leading role.
It will advocate setting up an international framework for conflict prevention,
cooperation and stability in cyberspace, applying principles from the whole United
Nations Charter, International Law, Human Rights and Humanitarian Rights in War, as
well as non-binding standards on responsible behaviour for States.
Aware of the importance of multilateralism, the United Nations’ role is considered
relevant to move forward building consensus that, along with adopting and setting
in motion measures to promote trust, collaboration and participation from all
players involved (States, private sector, civil society, users and academia), constitutes
the groundwork to achieve security and stability in cyberspace and work towards
regulation.
In line with our European partners, this goal will strengthen trust in the internet,
digital transformation and development of new technologies, helping to consolidate
a secure European cybernetic ecosystem that boosts progress towards the single
digital market. To do this, it will defend an interoperative, neutral, open and diverse
internet, a reflection of international cultural and linguistic plurality, based on a system
of democratic, representative and inclusive governance resulting from agreement and
consensus. In addition, it will provide access to global and generalised internet, thereby
helping meet Sustainable Development Goals.
In this way, belonging to the European Union (EU) means that we have to strengthen
security and European strategic autonomy by seeking synergy, technical, operative,
strategic and political cooperation; to strengthen our resilience, our capacity to respond
