On January 13 the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Chile and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands, in partnership with Observer Research Foundation America (ORF America) and the Centre for Information Technology Law Studies (CEDI) hosted the virtual Global Cyber Policy Dialogues: Latin America meeting. The event focused on the linkages between the cyber stability normative framework, international cooperation to counter cyber crime, and the importance of an open, free, stable, and secure cyberspace to enabling digital transformation in the region.
An expert panel discussion covered a wide range of topics including the foundational role of cyber capacity building, the need for more practical cooperation on cyber crime, increased clarity in cyber crime legislation and terminology to protect against human rights abuses and enable effective international cooperation, and opportunities to engage in international processes as a way to build trust. A summary can be found at the bottom of this page, and recordings are available in English and Spanish.
