ITU AND ICPC LAUNCH INITIATIVE TO PROTECT CRITICAL SUBMARINE CABLE
INFRASTRUCTURE

New Advisory Body addresses submarine cable resilience to protect global
connectivity from risks and disruptions.



The International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the United Nations Agency for
Digital Technologies, and the International Cable Protection Committee (ICPC),
the leading industry organisation promoting submarine cable protection, have
formed the International Advisory Body for Submarine Cable Resilience to
strengthen the resilience of this vital telecommunication infrastructure.

Submarine telecommunication cables form the backbone of global communications,
carrying most of the world’s Internet traffic and enabling critical services
across the globe, including commerce, financial transactions, government
activities, digital health and education.

The Advisory Body will address ways to improve cable resilience by promoting
best practices for governments and industry players to ensure the timely
deployment and repair of submarine cables, reduce the risks of damage, and
enhance the continuity of communications over the cables.

> Submarine cables carry over 99 per cent of international data exchanges,
> making their resilience a global imperative. The Advisory Body will mobilize
> expertise from around the world to ensure this vital digital infrastructure
> remains resilient in the face of disasters, accidents, and other risks.
> 
> –  Doreen Bogdan-Martin, Secretary-General, ITU

Recognizing the vital role of subsea infrastructure

Damage to submarine cables is not uncommon, with an average of 150 to 200 faults
occurring globally each year and requiring about three cable repairs per week,
according to the ICPC.

The primary causes of damage include accidental human activity, such as fishing
and anchoring, alongside natural hazards, abrasion and equipment failure.

> The formation of this International Advisory Body with ITU marks another step
> toward safeguarding our global digital infrastructure. By working together, we
> can promote best practices, foster international collaboration, and create a
> consistent approach to protect the vital submarine cable networks that
> underpin global connectivity.
> 
> – Graham Evans, Chair, ICPC

Supporting digital resilience globally

The Advisory Body’s 40 members include Ministers, Heads of Regulatory
Authorities, industry executives, and senior experts on the operations of
telecommunication cables.

Members come from all world regions, ensuring diversity and inclusion from
countries ranging from small island states to major economies. The membership
captures the perspectives of those whose livelihoods and digital futures depend
on the operation of submarine telecommunication cables, as well as those who
work to deploy, maintain and protect this vital infrastructure.

The Advisory Body is co-chaired by H.E. Minister Bosun Tijani, Minister of
Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria, and Prof. Sandra Maximiano, Chair of the Board of Directors of the
National Communications Authority of the Republic of Portugal (ANACOM).

> Submarine cables are essential to the functioning of our connected world, but
> they face risks that require coordinated, proactive action. Therefore, we are
> happy to host the inaugural Submarine Cable Resilience Summit to be held in
> Nigeria in early 2025.
> 
> – H.E. Minister Bosun Tijani, Minister of Communications, Innovation and
> Digital Economy, Federal Republic of Nigeria
> 
> This initiative underscores the global community’s commitment to strengthening
> these networks and advancing international cooperation for digital resilience.
> 
> – Prof. Sandra Maximiano, Chair of the Board of Directors, National
> Communications Authority of the Republic of Portugal (ANACOM)

The Advisory Body will meet at least two times a year. It will consult with
experts on telecommunications, digital resilience infrastructure development,
infrastructure investment and international policy to provide strategic guidance
and encourage sector-wide collaboration.

The first virtual meeting is scheduled for December 2024. The first physical
meeting is currently scheduled to take place during the Submarine Cable
Resilience Summit, planned for late February 2025 in Abuja, Nigeria.
