A/68/156/Add.1 Within the process of the Nuclear Security Summit, information security plays a central role. The Work Plan of the Washington Nuclear Security Summit and the Seoul Communiqué state that the Nuclear Security Summit States aim “to prevent non-state actors from obtaining the information or technology required to use such material for malicious purposes; and to prevent the disruption of information technology based control systems at nuclear facilities”. As the Chair of the Nuclear Security Summit, the Netherlands supports all efforts to contribute to this objective. Within the Nuclear Security Summit process the Netherlands supports the leadership of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland in the implementation and sharing of best practices of information security in the nuclear sector. This is done by developing and strengthening national measures, arrangements and capacity for the effective management and security of such information; to enhance related national security culture; to engage with national scientific, industrial and academic communities to further raise awareness, develop and disseminate best practice and increase professional standards; and to support, drawing on and collaborating with IAEA, other key international organizations and partner countries to facilitate mutual achievement of these aims. The Netherlands attaches great importance to an inclusive Internet governance model, involving the private sector and knowledge institutions in this dialogue and is keen to share experience and best practices with others. The intensive international exchange of knowledge and information among all stakeholders and organizations is essential for making cyberspace more secure and reliable and fully gain its full potential, both in terms of development and bringing societies across the world closer together. The Netherlands therefore welcomes the cyber conferences held in London and Budapest and the upcoming conference in Seoul. Lastly, the Netherlands is of the opinion that the development of norms for State conduct does not require a reinvention of international law, but rather needs to ensure consistency in the application of existing international legal frameworks. We encourage continued dialogue and reflection to attain consensus regarding the practical effect of the application of existing rules and international law to cyberspace.
