Pakistan has called for a global legal framework to address cyberspace challenges.

Delivering a statement during Arria-Formula meeting on the topic of “Commercial Spyware and the Maintenance of International Peace and Security”, in New York Pakistan's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Usman Jadoon said militarization of cyberspace, the development of offensive cyber capabilities and the unchecked military applications of new and emerging technologies, have led to the concerns.    

He said we have witnessed firsthand the dangers posed by such technology when hostile actors were found using spyware tools to target our citizens, public figures and state entities.

Usman Jadoon reiterated Pakistan’s commitment to fostering international dialogue on the formulation of a global legal framework for cyberspace, emphasizing the urgency of addressing gaps in existing international law.
