AW: [governance] Tallin Manual - a Cyber Warfare convention?

["Kleinwächter, Wolfgang"]

Parminder:

Awareness, social movement building and political actions all work in a kind of dialectic (or trialectic) .... And at different times, there are different windows of opportunity. Right now we have a UN Working Group with the mandate to look into what is the appropriate institutional architecture for global governance. And we need to give our response to it. No, time wont wait. It took 8 years to get this working group, and it has just a year to produce its report. And if we do not respond to this opportunity, another similar one may not come for decades. 

Wolfgang:
 
The issues raised in the Tallion Manual are under discussion ion the UN since the late 1990s. There is a "Group of Governmental Experts" (GGE) which discusses all the issues and there are numerous bilateral channels between Russia and the US, China and the US, the EU and the US etc. Unfortunately there is no civil socviety involvement in those multilateral or bilateral discussion an this type of cybersecurity. There is also a working group under the ITU (wioth no civil society members)
