A/72/315
Proposals
The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology requests the
developed countries that have cyberpolice to assist and cooperate with the Ministry
in the establishment of the cyberpolice.
To address cybercrimes and to fight seriously against this phenomenon a
coherent system (conducive for criminal information) should be established at the
international level.
One of the important solutions for the security of the Internet is to establish
Internet governance. Through Internet governance, a basis can be provided for the
exchange of confidential information and data between all departments and offices
of the Government for the implementation of the network mentioned above. In this
regard, the Ministry requests the cooperation of all Member States.
The Ministry also requests Member States to support the staff of the Ministry
to fight cybercrime and improve information security, by providing them with
vocational and technical training programmes.

General appreciation of the issues of information security
Given the pace of e-society development in the Republic of Armenia, issues
related to information security are acquiring significant relevance, having a huge
impact on all aspects of national security.
The trends in information and communications technology (ICT) pose
qualitatively new threats and challenges requiring systematic coordination and new
approaches to ensure the secure use of ICT. Taking into account the use of
“information warfare” techniques in different conflict environments, Armenia
attaches vast importance to ensuring information security for the maintenance of
international peace and security.
Efforts made at the national level to strengthen information security and
promote international cooperation in this field
Armenia has undertaken activities aimed at safeguarding State and public
interests in the field of information security and harmonization of relevant
legislation with international standards. A series of normative acts governing the
sphere have entered into force, including the national security strategy and the
information security concept, as well as laws on the fight against terrorism; State
and official secrets; electronic documents and digital signatures; per sonal data
protection; freedom of information; and the mass media.
Pursuant to the relevant decisions of the Government:
(a) A number of practical measures were taken to ensure the protection of
publicly accessible information of government bodies on t he Internet and provide a
secure connection of their information systems to the Internet;
(b) Minimum requirements for official Internet websites of government
bodies were adopted.
