A/69/112
constitutes a violation of point No. 37 of the Declaration of Principles of the World
Summit on the Information Society held in Geneva in 2003.
The Government of the United States should respect international law and the
purposes and principles of the Charter of the United Nations; it should therefore
cease its illegal and covert actions against Cuba, which are condemned by the
Cuban people and international public opinion.
In this regard, the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States
(CELAC) adopted a communiqué on 29 April, in which it stressed that the illegal
use of new information and communication technologies had a negative impact on
nations and their citizens.
In that communiqué, CELAC strongly expressed its rejection of the use of
ICTs in a manner contrary to international law, and all actions of that nature. It
underlined the importance of guaranteeing that the use of such technologies should
be fully consistent with the purposes and principles of the Charter of the United
Nations, international law, in particular sovereignty, non-interference in internal
affairs and internationally recognized standards of coexistence between States. It
reiterated its commitment to intensifying international efforts to safeguard
cyberspace and promote its use for exclusively peaceful purposes and as a medium
contributing to economic and social development.
Cuba supported resolution 68/243 and will continue to contribute to the
peaceful global development of information and telecommunications technologies
and their use for the good of all humanity.

Executive summary
Cyberwar, conducted against Georgia in 2008, put the protection of critical
infrastructure high on the agenda of the Government of Georgia. The rapidly
growing dependence of the critical infrastructure and Government services on
information technology (IT) increases vulnerability to cybercrime -related incidents.
Accordingly, adequate protection of critical infrastructure from cyberthreats is one
of the priorities of the Government of Georgia.
