Stakeholder group: NGOs and associations

The CyberPeace Institute, an independent, neutral, and collaborative non-governmental organization, was created to enhance the stability of cyberspace. It aims to decrease the frequency, harm, and scale of cyber-attacks on civilians and critical civilian infrastructure, and increase the resilience of vulnerable actors. The Institute subscribes to the following principles in its work:

Impact: Reducing the frequency, harm, and scale of cyber-attacks by pushing for greater restraint in the use of cyber-attacks, increasing accountability for attacks that occur, and enhancing capabilities to prevent and recover from attacks.
Inclusiveness: Being inclusive and collaborative in the approach, cooperating with, and supporting, existing synergistic efforts.
Independence: Operating free from the direction or control of any other actors, including states, industries, and other organisations.
Integrity: Ensuring that its work and interactions with the cybersecurity community and victims of cyber-attacks reflect the highest ethical and analytical standards.
Neutrality: Supporting the stability and security of cyberspace rather than the interests of individual actors; as such, engaging with stakeholders and cyber-attack victims regardless of geographic location, nationality, race, or religion.
Transparency: Being transparent about its operations and methodologies, when it is feasible and responsible.

Through field analysis and global campaigning, the Institute’s goal is to protect the most vulnerable and to achieve peace and justice in cyberspace. Its work is structured around three pillars: assistance, analysis, and advancement. These pillars form the core of the Institute’s mission, building on the simple reality that infrastructure, networks, regulations, norms, and protocols are merely enablers in cyberspace.

To fulfil this mission, and to deliver products and services which have a real impact, the Institute has four strategic objectives, ensuring a human-centric response to the technological, ethical, and regulatory challenges of cyberspace. Each of these objectives enables operational, tactical, and strategic responses with the goal of empowering people by maintaining a vibrant, open, free, and peaceful online space. The first three objectives are aligned with the three pillars, while the fourth objective ensures that the Institute and its staff are at the forefront of what will be tomorrow’s challenges in cyberspace.

Strategic Objective 1: To increase and accelerate assistance efforts towards the most vulnerable, globally.
Strategic Objective 2: To close the accountability gap through collaborative analyses of cyberattacks.
Strategic Objective 3: To advance international law and norms in order to promote responsible behaviour in cyberspace.
Strategic Objective 4: To forecast and analyse security threats associated with emerging and disruptive technologies, to innovate breakthrough solutions, and to close the skill gap to address global cyber challenges.

The Institute has an international scope, and is independent, apolitical, and impartial in its operations, publications, and partnerships.

Digital Activities

The Institute provides assistance to vulnerable communities, analyses cyberattacks to increase accountability, advocates for the advancement of the role of international law and norms for responsible behaviour in cyberspace, forecasts future threats (with a focus on disruptive technology), and supports capacity building.

Example of operational activities include:

Mapping the threat landscape in relation to critical civilian infrastructure.
Supporting the delivery of assistance at scale to the most vulnerable victims of cyberattacks.
Co-ordinating resources to amplify the impact of existing assistance efforts.
Conducting forensic and impact analyses of sophisticated cyberattacks and cyber operations, in co-operation with a consortium of experts from academia, industry, and civil society.
Co-ordinating relief efforts through a network of volunteers and providing knowledge products to increase resiliency.
Advancing the role of international law and norms governing the behaviour of state and non-state actors in cyberspace.
Analysing responses to violations of norms, and how normative or legal gaps are exposed and undermined.
Increasing public awareness of the real-life impact of cyberattacks, and providing a platform where vulnerable populations can tell their stories.
Analysing potential threats and opportunities stemming from the convergence of disruptive technologies (e.g., artificial intelligence, brain machine interface, augmented Reality, virtual Reality, 5G, etc.).
Acting as a platform to share innovative approaches and capacity-building strategies.

Digital policy issues

Critical infrastructure

Consistent with its human-centric approach, one of the Institute’s key areas of focus is the protection of civilian infrastructure from systemic cyberattacks. For instance, in 2020, the Institute, together with a number of partners, launched Cyber 4 Healthcare, a targeted service for healthcare organizations fighting COVID-19. The initiative helps people find trusted and free cybersecurity assistance provided by qualified and reputable companies. In May 2020, the Institute issued a call for governments to stop all cyberattacks on healthcare organizations and to work with civil society and the private sector to ensure that medical facilities are protected and that perpetrators are held accountable.

Following that appeal to governments, the Institute launched a Strategic Analysis Report in March 2021. Playing with Lives: Cyberattacks on Healthcare are Attacks on People urges governments to remove rewards for criminals and hostile states attacking healthcare. The first of its kind, this analytical report focuses on the impacts of attacks on people and society and highlights the responsibilities of nation-states in leading the way for attacks to decrease globally and threat actors to be held accountable. It maps existing initiatives and provides actionable recommendations to governments and policymakers to engage with civil society, industry and academia and design collective solutions.

Cyberpeace: From Human Experience to Human Responsibility

While the international community has recognized the need to be more “human-centric,” the CyberPeace Institute believes that an increased focus on human impact is not enough. In our pursuit of cyberpeace, we must start with the human impact. In each and every response, we must recall that the digital is human.

In cyberspace, everyone has a role to play. This collective action is essential to promoting justice, effecting change and ensuring human security, dignity and equity.

The CyberPeace Institute is gathering testimonials and digital evidence from the field to track these diverse accountabilities, ensuring that cyberattacks and cyberoperations are investigated in their local context. Closing the accountability gap will be made possible by shedding light on responsibilities in the context of the societal impact of irresponsible behaviour.

Network security

To increase the scale and impact of its efforts to assist civilian victims of cyber-attacks, the Institute is building the CyberPeace Builders network, composed of volunteers from a range of backgrounds and locations worldwide, administered by a dedicated management structure, in collaboration with partners with established assistance capabilities. The network will provide emergency incident response and longer-term recovery plans to civilian victims recovering from significant cyberattacks perpetrated by malicious actors. It also assists vulnerable individuals in increasing their resilience and guarding against future cyberattacks.

Interdisciplinary approaches

In order to contribute to closing the accountability gap in cyberspace, the Institute seeks to advance the role of international law and norms. This includes initiatives such as: publishing analyses of the economic and social impacts of cyberattacks; driving external engagement with stakeholders, individuals, and organizations focused on enhancing the stability of cyberspace; conducting reviews of cyberattacks based on international law and norms; and assessing potential remedies to fill the identified gaps. The Institute is actively engaged in the work of the United Nations Open-Ended Working Group on Developments in the Field of Information and Telecommunications in the Context of International Security, and is co-Chair of the Paris Call Working Group 5: Building a cyberspace stability index, one of six groups established in November 2020 which are dedicated to ensure that fundamental rights and principles that apply in the physical world are respected in cyberspace.

Capacity development

In 2020, the Institute initiated a series of CyberPeace Labs webinars, bringing together experts from academia, the private sector, international organizations, civil society, and governmental bodies as discussants. Within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the first CyberPeace Lab: Infodemic: A Threat to Cyberpeace, explored how malicious actors exploit infodemics to facilitate cyberattacks. The discussions from the series produced a set of best practices and actionable recommendations to inform initiatives undertaken by the Institute and, ultimately, to improve resilience against cyberattacks and bring about online peace.

The Institute also aims to facilitate the creation and scale-up of operational partnerships for cyber capacity-building, notably with grassroots practitioners and civil society organizations, to maximise the beneficial impact on local communities and individuals, while taking into account specific human contexts.

The Institute is also developing tailored products, such as the Resilience Toolkits, which are tailored to improve cyber hygiene. These Toolkits reflect specific local and regional contexts and are designed, produced, and delivered in collaboration with local partners and stakeholders to accelerate existing efforts at the regional level.

In 2021 the Institute launched the Cyber Awareness Café , an online resource that promotes cyber awareness through sharing of information and cybersecurity tips with NGOs and local entities around the world.

Digital tools

In addition to its CyberPeace Labs, the Institute shares useful video materials and discussion recordings on its YouTube channel, maintains blogs on Medium, and is an active user of a number of social media channels, for example, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram and Facebook.

Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies

Post date March 1, 2022

Address: Maison de la paix, Chemin Eugène-Rigot 2A CH-1211 Geneva, Switzerland

Website: https://graduateinstitute.ch

The Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies is an institution of research and higher education at the postgraduate level dedicated to the study of world affairs, with a particular emphasis on the cross-cutting fields of international relations and development issues.

Through its core activities, the Institute aims to promote international co-operation and contribute to the progress of developing societies. More broadly, it endeavours to develop creative thinking on the major challenges of our time, foster global responsibility and advance respect for diversity.

By intensely engaging with international organisations, non-governmental organisations, governments and multinational companies, the Institute participates in global discussions and prepares future policymakers to lead tomorrow’s world.

Digital Activities

As part of its main strategy, the Institute seeks to develop digitally-driven innovation in teaching and research, as well as information technology (IT) services. At the same time, as a research institution focusing on global challenges and their impacts, digitalisation has become one of its fundamental and policy-oriented research areas.

Over the years, the Institute has developed a performing IT infrastructure with secured data storage space and digital platforms (e.g. Campus, Moodle, TurntIn, Zoom, MyHR, Salesforces, Converis, etc.) to provide seamless services as well as dematerialised/paperless processes (e.g. student applications, course registration, etc.) for students, staff, and professors.

Various publications address topics related to digitalisation and its impact, such as big data, robotics, crypto mining, terrorism and social media, data in international trade and trade law, Internet governance, digital health, microfinance and Fintech, smart cities, etc.

The Institute also organises workshops, seminars, film screenings, and other events that cover Internet-related issues, ranging from the digital divide and the governance and regulatory aspects of data to cybersecurity.

Digital policy issue

Capacity development

The Institute provides a multidisciplinary perspective on international governance, including research and teaching on Internet governance, digital trade, and artificial intelligence (AI).

In terms of teaching, its Master, PhD, and executive education courses are increasingly focused on the effects of digitalisation on society and the economy, and more generally the global system. Some examples of courses are ‘Internet Governance and Economics’, ‘Internet Governance: the Role of International Law, Cybersecurity and Virtual Insecurity’, ‘Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Work’, ‘Technology and Development’, and ‘Big Data Analysis’. Digital skills workshops are also organised for students to provide them with basic digital competence for their future professional or academic life (e.g. big data analysis, digital communication strategy, introduction to programming with Python, data analysis in various contexts, etc.)

In terms of research, a growing number of researchers and PhD candidates analyse the impact of digitalisation on international relations and development issues. A few examples of research topics are Internet and AI governance, digitalisation of trade, fintech, AI and humanitarian law, regulatory aspects of data, digital inclusion, and open government data. Some of the prominent research initiatives are listed under respective digital policy issues sections below.

The Institute also supports professors in developing pedagogical skills and in using digital tools. Workshops are offered to all faculty members at the end of the summer to prepare them for hybrid teaching and the use of new technological tools in the classroom.

Artificial intelligence

The Institute hosts the new Digital Health and AI Research Collaborative (I-DAIR) directed by former Ambassador of India and Visiting Lecturer at the Institute Amandeep Gill. I-DAIR aims to create a platform to promote responsible and inclusive AI research and digital technology development for health. This platform is supported by the Geneva Science and Diplomacy Anticipator (GESDA).

The faculty also carries out a number of digital policy-related research projects, some of which focus on AI in particular. For example, the project titled ‘Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (LAWS) and War Crimes: Who is to Bear Responsibility?’ aims to clarify whether and to what extent the requirements for ascribing criminal responsibility for the commission of an act – and in particular the key concepts of culpability theories – can be applied to the use of LAWS in combat operations. This analysis will serve to identify lacunae and inconsistencies in the current legal framework in the face of the advent of military robotics.

Sustainable development

A number of projects carried out by the Institute’s members aim to address the relation between digital technologies and sustainable development. For instance, the ‘Modelling Early Risk Indicators to Anticipate Malnutrition’ (MERIAM) project uses computer models to test and scale up cost-effective means to improve the prediction and monitoring of undernutrition in difficult contexts.

The project ‘Governing health futures 2030: growing up in a digital world’, hosted at the Global Health Centre, explores how to ensure that digital development helps improve the health and well-being of all, and especially among children and young people. It focuses on examining integrative policies for digital health, AI, and universal health coverage to support the attainment of the third sustainable development goal.

Focusing on the Global South, the project ‘African Futures: Digital Labor and Blockchain Technology’ strengthens empirical knowledge on changing trends in employment in the region by way of a two-pronged approach to the increasingly interconnected global division of labor: i) App-based work mediated by online service platforms and ii) the use of blockchain technology in mining sites for ethical sourcing, traceability, and proof of origin.

Inclusive finance

Projects carried out by the Institute’s members also address the role of digital technologies in enhancing financial inclusion. The project ‘Effects of Digital Economy on Banking and Finance’ studies digital innovations and how fintech extends financial services to firms and households and improves credit allocation using loan-account level data comparing the fintech and traditional banking.

Online education

The Institute has developed digital tools (e.g. app for students, responsive website) and used digital services (e.g. social media, Facebook, Google ads, etc.) for many years in its student recruitment and communication campaigns. Digital tools are also part of the pedagogical methods to improve learning. Flipped classrooms, MOOCs, SPOCs, and podcasts, to name a few, are used by professors in master and PhD programmes, as well as in executive education.

Thanks to the above developments, the Institute was able to respond quickly and effectively to the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020. In a week, the Institute moved to distance working and online teaching.

Digital tools

Digital collections that allow free access to historical documents, texts, and photographs on international relations from the 16th to 20th century;
Two free online courses (MOOC) on globalisation and global governance.
Podcasts showcasing professors and guests’ expertise (What Matters Today, In Conversation With, Parlons en).
Podcasts are also integrated into the curricula of several international history and interdisciplinary master courses to encourage students to use social network platforms to popularise their findings.

Future of Meetings

International Committee of the Red Cross

Post date March 1, 2022

Acronym: ICRC

Address: Av. de la Paix 19, 1202 Genève, Switzerland

Website: https://icrc.org

Stakeholder group: International and regional organisations

Established in 1863, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is an independent international humanitarian organisation headquartered in Geneva. The ICRC defends and promotes the respect of international humanitarian law (IHL) and is dedicated to protecting the lives and dignity of victims of war and to the provision of assistance. Along these lines, it co-operates with governments, the private sector, and other entities affected by international and internal armed conflict and violence.

Together with the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and 190 individual national societies, the ICRC makes up the so-called International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement.

Digital Activities

Digitalisation is increasingly present in the context of armed conflict and violence: States use cyber operations and artificial intelligence (AI) as part of warfare and humans are affected by the consequences of such operations and other digital risks. To this end, humanitarian organisations also use digital tools to improve their operations. The ICRC addresses the implications of technology which are multifold and range from data protection for humanitarian actions to the application of IHL to cyber operations in armed conflict. It hosts expert and intergovernmental discussions and has developed a number of (digital) tools to help improve awareness and understanding of IHL and relevant standards.

The ICRC co-operates with other organisations on digital policy issues.

Digital policy issues

Artificial intelligence

The ICRC has also explored the role of AI tools in armed conflict. In a document titled ‘Artificial intelligence and machine learning in armed conflict: A human-centred approach’ published in 2019, it argues that ‘any new technology of warfare must be used, and must be capable of being used, in compliance with existing rules of international humanitarian law.’ It also touches upon the use of AI and machine learning technologies capable of controlling physical military hardware. It argues that from a humanitarian perspective, autonomous weapon systems (AWS) are of particular concern given that humans may not be able to exert control over such weapons or the resulting use of force. While the ICRC recognises that not all weapon systems incorporate AI or machine learning, it emphasises that such software components could eventually give way to future AWS. It also emphasises the potential misuse of AI and machine learning in the development of cyber weapons and capabilities. The ICRC calls for a human control-based approach to the application of AI and machine learning in AWS.

The question of AI has been further explored in other reports such as its ‘Autonomy, artificial intelligence, robotics: Technical aspects of human control’.

Cyberoperations during armed conflict

The use of cyber operations during armed conflicts is a reality in today’s armed conflicts and their use is likely to increase in future. Through expert discussions, participation in intergovernmental processes, and bilateral confidential dialogue, the ICRC is raising awareness of the potential human cost of cyber operations and the application of IHL to cyber operations during armed conflict. Its efforts on this matter data back to over two decades ago. Ever since, the ICRC holds the view that IHL limits cyber operations ‘during armed conflict just as it limits the use of any other weapon, means and methods of warfare in an armed conflict, whether new or old.’

Over the years, the ICRC has been actively involved in global policy discussions on cyber-related issues, including those held within the UN (various GGEs and the OEWG). The ICRC has also been an observer in the expert processes that developed the Tallinn Manuals. More recently, the ICRC has organised expert meetings and developed reports on ‘The Potential Human Cost of Cyber Operations’ and on ‘Avoiding Civilian Harm from Military Cyber Operations during Armed Conflicts’ (forthcoming). Its legal views on how IHL applies to cyber operations during armed conflict are found in a 2019 position paper that was sent to all UN member states in the context of the different UN-mandated processes on information and communication technology security. The ICRC’s Law and Policy blog maintains an ongoing blog series on the potential human cost of cyber operations, featuring tech expert, legal, and policy perspectives.

Privacy and data protection

The ICRC plays an active role in regard to privacy and data protection in the context of humanitarian action. The ICRC has a data protection framework compliant with international data protection standards that aims to protect individuals from a humanitarian standpoint. The framework consists of ICRC Rules on Data Protection, which were revised in 2020 in response to the rapid development of digital technologies, while supervisory and control mechanisms are overseen by an independent data protection commission and a data protection officer.

Despite the wide range of data sources employed and dealt with by the ICRC, specific attention is dedicated to biometric data which is often used in forensics and the restoration of family links. In order to manage this highly sensitive information and to ensure the responsible deployment of new technologies (including new biometric identification techniques), the ICRC has adopted a Biometrics Policy, which sets out the roles and responsibilities of the ICRC and defines the legitimate bases and specified purposes for the processing of biometric data.

Data protection is also addressed by the ICRC Handbook on Data Protection in Humanitarian Action. The Handbook provides suggestions how existing data protection principles apply to humanitarian organisations and builds on existing regulations, working procedures, and practices. The second edition of the document specifically provides guidance on the technical aspects of data protection by design and by default and covers technological security measures. In addition, it also addresses through dedicated chapters the potential and risks of digital technology such as blockchain, AI, digital identity, and connectivity for data protection in humanitarian action. The ICRC recently hosted a digital launch event for the second edition of the handbook focusing on data protection and COVID-19.

The ICRC further explored the issue of data and privacy in a joint report that it published with Privacy International titled ‘The humanitarian metadata problem: ‘Doing no harm in the digital era.’ The report looks into how different types of metadata are derived from internal and external humanitarian exchanges (i.e. exchanges between humanitarian organisations and individuals affected by armed conflict and violence or communication within humanitarian organisations) through telecommunications and messaging, cash transfer programmes, and how social media can be accessed and misused for profiling of individuals, surveillance, repression, or commercial exploitation. In line with the humanitarian ‘do no harm’ principle, the report underscores that the humanitarian community has to consider that there is a risk that it can hinder the safety and the rights of persons needing protection when using digital technologies. The ICRC also hosted an event on this topic, the Digital Risk Symposium, which was hosted in London in December 2018. The event explored what organisations can do to ensure they do not create additional vulnerabilities for people already at risk, as well as the potential for collaboration in the sector.

More recently, the ICRC has been involved in the Road to Bern via Geneva dialogues ahead of the 2020 World Data Forum. As part of its contribution, the ICRC collaborated with the World Intellectual Property Organization in the second dialogue dedicated to data collection entitled ‘Protecting data against vulnerabilities: Questions of trust security and privacy of data’. Specific attention was paid to three challenges: data anonymisation, loss of data through cloud processing, and limited use of biometric data.

Digital tools

The ICRC has argued in favour of digitalisation of the Geneva Conventions and on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of these very treaties and additional protocols, released an IHL digital app. The app provides access to over 75 treaties including the Geneva Conventions, and allows users to read through the content and therefore familiarise themselves with the text. The ICRC has a number of databases on IHL including its customary IHL database and the ICRC national implementation database.

Online learning is also used by the ICRC to promote the implementation of IHL. In 2019, it launched an e-learning course entitled ‘Introduction to International Humanitarian Law’ that is aimed at non-legal practitioners, policymakers, and other professionals who are interested in the basics of IHL. Other online courses are available through the ICRC training centre as well as e-briefings which are available on its e-briefing library.

The ICRC also maintains a digital library and an app with all ICRC publications in English and French.

Stakeholder group: International and regional organisations

The Internet Governance Forum (IGF) was established in Paragraph 72 of the Tunis Agenda of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) as a forum for multistakeholder policy dialogue. The mandate of the Forum is to discuss public policy issues related to key elements of Internet governance, in order to foster the sustainability, robustness, security, stability, and development of the Internet. Even though the IGF is not a decision-making body, its great potential lies in open discussions among all stakeholders on challenges and best practices related to the use and evolution of the Internet.

Starting 2006, the IGF holds annual meetings: Athens (2006), Rio de Janeiro (2007), Hyderabad (2008), Sharm El Sheikh (2009), Vilnius (2010), Nairobi (2011), Baku (2012), Bali (2013), Istanbul (2014), João Pessoa (2015), Guadalajara (2016). The programme of the annual meeting and the general direction of the IGF work are deliberated by the Multistakeholder Advisory Group (MAG) to the UN Secretary General.

The IGF Secretariat, currently based at the United Nations Office at Geneva, conducts the preparations for the annual IGF meetings, coordinates the IGF intersessional activities (between two annual meetings), and assists the MAG in its work.
