A Protection of Cyberspace
Category: International Security | Strength: Mild
The World Assembly,
Understanding that the internet is a virtual environment that is international, generally lacking the capacity for regulation and policing by one particular nation and is a dependency of many international communities and organizations to coordinate their affairs and better the world,
Recognizing that computer contaminants (which vary between harmless virtual poltergeists to malicious software) are created with the intent to destroy, frustrate, provide infamy to disrespectful people and in other cases to be a deplorable source of revenue,
Noting that while the capacity for regulation and policing of the internet is still controversial it is safe to suggest that few would prefer a world with computer contaminants than one without them,
Further Noting that if one nation has a lackluster security campaign against computer contaminants or even worse, promotes them, the genuine efforts for prevention in other nations are often negated either partially or wholly without some sort of harmonization among a good portion of internet provider hosts’ nations in regards to internet security,
Celebrating the efforts of other international organizations, nations, individuals and our own legislations in the past and present that have attempted to prevent the proliferation of computer contaminants or on a less related note, cyberterrorism,
Endeavoring to do our part to make the internet a better place too,
Hereby,
Defines computer contaminants as virtual corruptions that can be exchanged via the internet or electronic mail and are designed to infiltrate a computer system without the owner's informed consent -- computer contaminants may have the malicious intent to:Clarifies that computer contaminants, for the purposes of this legislation, are created without any political intent and are not produced for political gain or to disseminate terror to a nation or a body of nations;
- Destroy, control or reduce the technical efficiency of anything electronic;
- Exploit and/or create security vulnerabilities;
- Facilitate unauthorized access, or invade one’s privacy;
- Propagate unsolicited advertising;
Outlaws the production and the informed harboring and spread of computer contaminants by any member-nation citizen or a user of an internet service provider that is based in a member-nation;
Demands that all member-nations must make a coordinated effort to prevent, detect and respond to the spread of computer contaminants at-least by their own member-nation citizens and by internet service providers that are based in their territory;
Establishes the World Wide Web Bulwark (3WB) to communicate with other international organizations while also collecting its own data on emerging and existing computer contaminants, particularly the characteristics and the preferred method and strategies of prevention, detection and response;
Declares that all publications and findings of the 3WB be publicly available.
Though, who still uses that term, anymore?
