11th and Final Substantive Session – U.N. OEWG on security of and in the use of information and communications technologies 2021-2025

The 11th Substantive Session of the UN Open-Ended Working Group (OEWG) on ICT Security in 2025 will be a pivotal moment, marking the conclusion of the group’s work. The final session will focus on synthesizing all outputs, including solidifying norms for responsible state behavior and finalizing confidence-building measures (CBMs).

The session will also wrap up capacity-building discussions and focus on finalizing the group’s comprehensive report. This report will offer actionable recommendations for global cooperation on ICT security, setting the foundation for the establishment of a future permanent mechanism.

One of the session’s key priorities will be resolving the ongoing accreditation procedure for non-state stakeholders. This will allow them to effectively contribute to the process, share valuable expertise, and enhance the inclusivity of the dialogue.

Finally, the session will aim to reach consensus on how international law applies to ICT security, establishing clear regulatory frameworks for cyberspace governance. As the OEWG’s mandate comes to an end, this session will provide the blueprint for future international ICT security governance.
