Equally, it is necessary to draw up a national Government strategy for the centralization of awareness-raising and training on digital security in relatio n to national defence. Lastly, with regard to the fifth objective, the establishment of permanent and strategic mechanisms to promote cooperation, collaboration and assistance in digital security matters at the national and international levels, we have made progress in adhering to mechanisms that foster cooperation, collaboration and assistance in relation to digital security at the international level. For instance, we can highlight the process of accession to the Convention on Cybercrime, and the progress in the development of a draft strategic agenda for international cooperation, collaboratio n and assistance. With respect to the challenges, it is necessary to identify and prioritize the bodies in which Colombia should participate on digital security matters, and to identify a clear and effective model for coordination and communication between stakeholders that will enable the drafting and implementation of strategic documents for the promotion of cooperation, collaboration and assistance at both the national and international levels in digital security matters. In the light of all of the above, and as the national digital security policy established in National Council for Economic and Social Policy Document No. 3854 of 2016 contains a plan of action that expires in 2019, the national Government, with the support of the OAS, is in the process of drafting a new policy that will address the challenges cited. Cuba [Original: Spanish] [29 April 2019] New ICT should be used in a peaceful manner for the common good of humankind and to further the sustainable development of all countries, irrespective of their level of scientific and technological development. Such scientific and technological developments can have civil and military uses and it is necessary to prevent this progress from jeopardizing the international security of States. The only way to prevent cyberspace from becoming a stage for milit ary operations is through joint cooperation among all States. In this regard, we support the establishment of the Open -ended Working Group on Developments in the Field of Information and Telecommunications in the Context of International Security pursuant to General Assembly resolution 73/27, with a view to making the United Nations negotiation process on security in the use of ICT more democratic, inclusive and transparent. We consider it necessary to establish a legally binding international regu latory framework which is complementary to existing international law but applies to ICTs . All States must respect existing international standards in this field. Access to the information or telecommunications systems of another State should be in line with the international cooperation agreements concluded and should be based on the principle of consent of the State concerned. The nature and scope of exchanges must respect the laws of the State which is granting access. 19-10580 11/39
