In p aragrap h 26 u nd er International Law , there is no m ention of UN Charter
and w e w ou ld like to requ est to m ention a reference to the sam e. This para requ ires
m ajor ed its. We m ay insert, “states acknowledged the need for further discussions to have
common understanding on how international law applies to cyberspace”.
15.
In Paragraph 31 that talks abou t attribu tion of an ICT activity to a State, m ay
need fu rther elaboration as it is not clearly conveying the w ay forw ard in ad d ressing
the gap in attribu ting the ICT activity.
We p rop ose that paragraph 32 shou ld be retained .
16.
In paragraph 45 u nd er Section D: Ru les, N orm s and Principles for
Resp onsible State Behaviou r. It read s as “Volu ntary, non-bind ing norm s of
resp onsible State behaviou r play an im portant role in increasing pred ictability and
red u cing risks of m isperceptions”. As this w ou ld not help to p red ict certain activity
in the ICT environm ent, the w ord ‘pred ictability’ can be d eleted .
17. In p ara-49, w e propose to d elete the phrase ‘non-d iscrim inatory’.
Mr. Chair,

We strongly propose that paragraphs 51 and , 52 and 87 can be d eleted .
19.
In Paragraph 59, u nd er ‘The OEWG recom m end s that’ section need s fu rther
refinem ent. We propose to d elete the last line of the paragraph that read s as ‘States

d issem ination of su ch gu id ance be encou raged to d o so.’
20.
In paragrap h 66, w e w ou ld like to ad d a line at the end of the p aragraph that

u nd erstand ing on w hat is Tru st, w hom to tru st and how m u ch to tru st for
id entifying the Tru sted Sou rces.’ to com plem ent the existing langu age in
em p hasizing the im p ortance of CBMs.’
21.
On the cap acity bu ild ing section, w e m ay also captu re, in ad d ition to others
som e vu lnerable groups like child ren. In this regard , in paragraph 79, w e w ou ld like
to ad d a line Capacity building in New and Emerging areas of ICT amd Children and for
promoting overall cyber hygiene.’
