ASPECTS TO BE MENTIONED IN THE FINAL REPORT
The final report of the OEWG should have a pragmatic and
action-oriented approach, with concrete recommendations to
the Secretary-General, calling for the appropriate
commitment of States to a safe and peaceful cyberspace. In

4) Speak out against the militarization of cyberspace.
