Cuba shares the concern expressed in resolution 69/28 that information
technologies and means can potentially be used for purposes that are inconsistent
with the objectives of maintaining international stability and security and may
adversely affect the integrity of the infrastructure of States to the detriment of their
security in both civil and military fields.
Resolution 69/28 also places emphasis on the need to prevent the use of
information resources or technologies for criminal or terrorist purposes.
In this regard, Cuba expresses its great concern over the covert and illegal use,
by individuals, organizations and States, of the computer systems of other nations
for the purpose of attacking third countries, because of its potential for triggering
international conflicts.
