such infrastructure. Equally, it is necessary to draw up a national Government strategy
for the centralization of awareness-raising and training on digital security in relatio n
to national defence.
Lastly, with regard to the fifth objective, the establishment of permanent and
strategic mechanisms to promote cooperation, collaboration and assistance in digital
security matters at the national and international levels, we have made progress in
adhering to mechanisms that foster cooperation, collaboration and assistance in
relation to digital security at the international level. For instance, we can highlight
the process of accession to the Convention on Cybercrime, and the progress in the
development of a draft strategic agenda for international cooperation, collaboratio n
and assistance.
With respect to the challenges, it is necessary to identify and prioritize the
bodies in which Colombia should participate on digital security matters, and to
identify a clear and effective model for coordination and communication between
stakeholders that will enable the drafting and implementation of strategic documents
for the promotion of cooperation, collaboration and assistance at both the national
and international levels in digital security matters.
In the light of all of the above, and as the national digital security policy
established in National Council for Economic and Social Policy Document No. 3854
of 2016 contains a plan of action that expires in 2019, the national Government, with
the support of the OAS, is in the process of drafting a new policy that will address
the challenges cited.

New ICT should be used in a peaceful manner for the common good of
humankind and to further the sustainable development of all countries, irrespective
of their level of scientific and technological development.
Such scientific and technological developments can have civil and military uses
and it is necessary to prevent this progress from jeopardizing the international security
of States.
The only way to prevent cyberspace from becoming a stage for milit ary
operations is through joint cooperation among all States.
In this regard, we support the establishment of the Open -ended Working Group
on Developments in the Field of Information and Telecommunications in the Context
of International Security pursuant to General Assembly resolution 73/27, with a view
to making the United Nations negotiation process on security in the use of ICT more
democratic, inclusive and transparent.
We consider it necessary to establish a legally binding international regu latory
framework which is complementary to existing international law but applies to ICTs .
All States must respect existing international standards in this field. Access to
the information or telecommunications systems of another State should be in line with
the international cooperation agreements concluded and should be based on the
principle of consent of the State concerned. The nature and scope of exchanges must
respect the laws of the State which is granting access.
