WORKING GROUP ON COOPERATION AND CONFIDENCE-BUILDING MEASURES IN CYBERSPACE


ABOUT US

This Working Group was approved by OAS Member States in 2017 through resolution
CICTE/RES.1/17, given the need for increased cooperation, transparency,
predictability, and stability among States in the use of cyberspace.


The Group focuses on non-traditional Confidence Building Measures (CBMs),
specifically those related to cyberspace. Member States of the OAS have agreed
to the following CBMs:

 

 1. Provide information on national cybersecurity policies, such as national
    strategies, white papers, legal frameworks and other documents that each
    Member State considers relevant.
 2. Identify a national point of contact at the political level to discuss the
    implications of hemispheric cyber threats.
 3. Designate points of contact, if they do not currently exist, in the
    Ministries of Foreign Affairs with the purpose of facilitating work for
    cooperation and international dialogues on cybersecurity and cyberspace.
 4. Develop and strengthen capacity building through activities such as
    seminars, conferences, and workshops, for public and private officials in
    cyber diplomacy, among others.
 5. Encourage the incorporation of cybersecurity and cyberspace issues in basic
    training courses and training for diplomats and officials at the Ministries
    of Foreign Affairs and other government agencies.
 6. Foster cooperation and exchange of best practices in cyber diplomacy,
    cybersecurity and cyberspace, through the establishment of working groups,
    other dialogue mechanisms and the signing of agreements between and among
    States.


This portal facilitates transparency and collaboration among its members as well
as access to information, by providing a repository of policies and legislation
related to cybersecurity and information on cyber and ministries of foreign
affairs points of contacts from OAS Member States.


Data contained on the portal is administered by the Technical Secretariat of the
Working Group , namely the CICTE/OAS as submitted voluntarily by its Member
States.

ONLINE COURSE ON INTERNATIONAL CYBER DIPLOMACY, LAW AND NORMS

The objective of this course is to build capacity in government officials to
engage meaningfully and effectively in international cybersecurity discussions,
particularly within the United Nations’ First Committee, but also in other
multilateral discussions, such as in regional organizations and in discussions
and consultations with the private sector, civil society and academia. This
certificate program provides participants with an overview of the normative
framework of responsible state behavior promulgated by the UN, and other
multilateral organizations. Further, the course will examine legal frameworks
and tools to assist cross-border digital crime cooperation. Participants will
gain a better understanding of the issues and challenges that dominate current
international dialogues on cybersecurity, responsible state behaviour and
cybernorms. Candidates should be public officials of the Permanent Missions to
the OAS and to the UN, mainly diplomats from the Ministries of Foreign Affairs,
or officials responsible for contributing to debates on international
cybersecurity rules and norms, both at the United Nations and elsewhere.
