A/75/123 developing and applying measures to increase stability and security in the use of ICTs and to prevent ICT practices that are acknowledged to be harmful or that may pose threats to international peace and security. In that connection, on 23 September 2019, Colombia supported the statement prepared by the United States of America on advancing responsible State behaviour in cyberspace, which reflects a joint commitment by several countries to ensuring greater accountability and stability in cyberspace through cooperation aimed at more effectively responding to and deterring malicious, disruptive, destructive and destabilizing cyberactivities. The statement emphasizes that responsible State behaviour in cyberspace must be guided by international law, adherence to voluntary norms of responsible State behaviour in peacetime and the implementation of practical confidence-building measures. Colombia also supports the Paris Call for Trust and Security in Cyberspace, an initiative of the Government of France launched on 12 November 20 18, which promotes the development of common principles to enhance security in cyberspace, and which has received support from various countries, private companies and civil society organizations. In addition, Colombia supports the Christchurch call to e liminate terrorist and violent extremist content online, an initiative of the Governments of France and New Zealand, launched in May 2019. Colombia has public policies in place at the national level, which are contained in contained in documents of the National Council for Economic and Social Policy. In 2011, it formalized its efforts to recognize cybersecurity and cyberdefence as cornerstones of national defence. To that end, the national Government issued National Council for Economic and Social Policy document No. 3701, entitled “Policy guidelines for cybersecurity and cyberdefence,” whose overall objective was to strengthen State capacity to address threats to national security and defence in the cyberdomain (cybersecurity and cyberdefence), in order to create an environment and conditions where cyberspace is protected. Progress was made in three key areas: (a) establishment of bodies focused on addressing cybersecurity incidents, and issuance of guidelines to enhance State capacity to counter threats i n cyberspace; (b) establishment of information security training mechanisms and expansion of the scope of relevant research; and (c) strengthening of cybersecurity laws. In 2016, the Government issued National Council for Economic and Social Policy document No. 3854, entitled “National digital security policy”, which focused on four main objectives: (a) strengthening the institutional framework; (b) enhancing the capacities of the various stakeholders to identify, manage, address and mitigate risks to digital safety in their online socioeconomic activities; (c) promoting shared responsibility; and (d) incorporating a risk management approach into the online activities of the various stakeholders. Since 2019, the Government has been designing a public pol icy on digital trust and security, whose objectives include evaluating and updating the digital security governance framework in order to improve it. This policy provides for the establishment of a national cybersecurity incident management system with the following aims: (a) coordinating institutional efforts to ensure the timely management of cybersecurity incidents; (b) serving as the official source of statistics on cybersecurity incidents reported in the country; (c) standardizing a mechanism for periodic reporting of incidents and vulnerabilities so that they can be identified, assessed and communicated to stakeholders; and (d) informing decision -making by the national Government. We are planning to implement the technology underlying the system. The information in the system will be available for consultation in real time by State security agencies. 16/84 20-08285
