Protecting Populations from Critical Harm to the Public Core of the internet
Ensuring the protection and resilience of critical information infrastructures is crucial to the continuity of essential services to populations. However, global cooperation in this regard has been hampered by a lack of convergence between States on what infrastructure qualifies as "critical" as well as on consequences to be drawn from this designation. New methods remain therefore to be developed to articulate governments’ right to unilaterally identify critical infrastructures according to national situations with the need to protect populations from cyber harm. This roundtable will present the first outcomes of the Paris Call working group dedicated to better protecting essential services to populations from cyber harm.
