Stimson Center Asks for More from the UN Open-Ended Working Group on Cybersecurity
Submitting the pre-draft of the report of the OEWG on developments in the field of information and telecommunications and international security
April 16, 2020

Debra Decker, Senior Advisor at the Stimson Center, submitted suggestions on the OEWG Pre-Draft Final Report. In her comments, she suggested the report advocate more forcefully for:

  • the process to be continued and coordinated more closely with other UN efforts on cyber issues;
  • the Group to broaden engagement with business, academia and non-governmental organizations; and
  • the Group’s work to be more prioritized.

She also suggested that States support additional unbiased research in support of the OEWG, such as analyzing the conflicting approaches/views in many areas and developing analytical frameworks for States to better assess alternatives informed by lessons from other international risk management efforts.
