- Please state no more than three (3) key messages of the discussion. [300-500 words]
Over all the panellist discussed a wide ranging issues. Some of the discuss
1. They addressed the relevance of balancing Cybersecurity, Human Rights and Economic Development issues and explored best practices applied in different regions and stakeholder groups.
2. The panel explored the cross-sectional issues that should be discussed when considering economic development, multi-stakeholder involvement and human rights.
3. They examined the fact that cybersecurity is one those topics that affect the ecosystem that supports development.
- Please elaborate on the discussion held, specifically on areas of agreement and divergence. [300 words] Examples: There was broad support for the view that…; Many [or some] indicated that…; Some supported XX, while others noted YY…; No agreement…
There was general agreement from the panel that empowering digital citizens and rethinking how we engage on issues that have an impact on cybersecurity is critical. There was also consensus on the need to have not just a vertical multistakeholder concept but an inclusive multi-disciplinary and wide-raging dialogue in order to have meaning policies.
- Please describe any policy recommendations or suggestions regarding the way forward/potential next steps. [200 words]
Some of the policy considerations were practical in nature and included:
· Be aware that not everyone in the room is speaking the same language. Ensure everyone with the different background speaks to each other. It was noted that a broad set of arguments brought about by a broad set of actors is best to ensure impact. As such actors need to work together to push and fight back against cyber threats.
· It is important to have a broad inclusive dialogue to ensure that human rights considerations and economic development work in tandem.
· Having a human rights perspective is not incompatible with the economic perspective on cybersecurity development.
· Conversation between people, government and industry need to be managed to reflect rights and values in law.
· You can implement security and human rights parallel, they're not exclusive. At the same time, there will be trade-offs and the trade-offs are something that the society has to be involved in in making helpful decisions to represent, again, the values of a particular geography and context.
- What ideas surfaced in the discussion with respect to how the IGF ecosystem might make progress on this issue? [150 words]
During the discussion some key concepts emerged which can be considered for future workshops:
· Measuring the impact of cybersecurity incidents that affect civil society groups should inform cybersecurity policies;
· Ecology of Games – each of the policy areas have a variety of stakeholders shaping the policy in other areas directly or inadvertently. The outcome of those efforts shape security.
· Security and Human rights can operate in parallel.
· Need to overcome the language barrier between the stakeholders in terms of ensuring everyone is talking about the same issue
· Ethical development – Human rights should be built in by design to economic development plans and cybersecurity investment.
