A/71/172 public and private organizations, law enforcement personnel, academics and individuals in general in Colombia are able to depend on a reliable and secure digital environment that maximizes economic and social benefits, boosting competitiveness and productivity in all sectors of the economy. The policy is the result of a process that engaged multiple stakeholders and it is one of the first national policies in the world — and the first in the region — to incorporate the digital security risk management recommendations issued in September 2015 by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. The policy provides, first of all, for the establishment of a clear institutional framework for digital security. To that end, coordination and advisory bodies for digital security will be established at the highest level of government and cross sectoral liaison units will be set up in all agencies of the national executive branch. Secondly, the right conditions will be created to enable multiple stakeholders to manage digital security risk in their socioeconomic activities, and to generate confidence in the use of the digital environment, by establishing mechanisms for active ongoing participation, ensuring an appropriate legal and regulatory framework and providing training in responsible behaviour in the digital environment. Thirdly, national defence and security in the digital environment will be strengthened at the national and transnational levels, adopting a risk management approach. Lastly, but no less importantly, standing mechanisms will be established, with a strategic focus, to promote cooperation, collaboration and assistance in the area of digital security at the national and international le vels. (b) 70/237: The content of the concepts mentioned in paragraph 3 of resolution Colombia, as a member of the most recently established Group of Governmental Experts (2014-2015), fully agrees that there is a need for further examination of the concepts relating to the security of information and global telecommunications systems and matters related to the application of international law in cyberspace. (c) Possible measures that could be taken by the international community to strengthen information security at the global level: In line with the above, we fully endorse the important recommendations issued by consensus by the experts who were members of the Group of Governmental Experts, including in relation to the voluntary adoption of measures and good practices, as well as capacity-building and cooperation by States to promote the peaceful use of information and communications technologies, so that they continue to serve as economic and social development tools for countries, especially those that are less technologically advanced. Cuba [Original: Spanish] [6 May 2016] Cuba shares the concern expressed in resolution 70/237 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 16-12486 7/24
