✍️ Special Representative of the President of Russia for International Cooperation in the Field of Information Security, Ambassador Andrey #Krutskikh's article:
International information security: from chaos to order and cooperation
Key talking points:
🇷🇺 Russia predicted that the safe use of ICTs would become an integral part of the international political agenda of the 21st century. But Western countries began actively experimenting with the use of ICTs for political and military purposes.
🔹The US, desperately clinging to its elusive global dominance, has embarked on the way of imposing digital neocolonial dictatorship. Sanctions are imposed against “undesirable” countries; and attempts are made to “undermine” capacities in the most advanced areas – artificial intelligence, high-speed Internet, quantum computing.
❗️ It is clear, that the US and their like-minded partners are trying to reshape the agenda of specialized international negotiating platforms in line with their aggressive policy in information space.
🔹We advocate the concept of creating a just system of international information security based on confidence-building, cooperation, prevention of conflicts and an arms race, and the elaboration of a legal framework regulating the responsible behaviour of states.
🔹We are actively promoting corresponding initiative primarily within the United Nations Open-ended Working Group on security of and in the use of ICTs.
🌐 Our partners unanimously share this approach, while Western countries often refer to the idea of universal legally binding agreements as “utopian”.
🔹A separate aspect is ensuring equitable and secure access to the Internet for all states and their citizens.
☝️ It is in the best interest of most nations that the Internet remains an accessible and reliable platform for communication, education and business, as long as security of its national segments is assured.
