Good morning delegates and most esteemed chairs,
The Paris Call for Trust and Security in Cyberspace illustrates France's
active involvement in ensuring a secure, stable, and open cyberspace.
This high-level political declaration represents a renewed commitment to
the basic issue of cyberspace stability.
In 2010, a cybersecurity strategy was developed in France to address
cyberattacks and protect state information systems and critical
infrastructures. This strategy was published in 2011 after a cyberattack
targeted French businesses, causing fraud and malware infection. The
threat is intensified by the increase in attackers' capabilities, proliferation
of attack techniques, and the development of organized crime in
cyberspace.
Another challenge has arisen from the appropriation of digital wealth by a
business oligopoly, which uses their dominant position to interfere with
new businesses and harness the added value of the budding economy.
Control of this mass of data opens the way to economic destabilization
and sophisticated forms of propaganda or ways to mislead people's
judgments and habits. This threat is a matter for national defense and
security due to its national extent and strategic issues.
To address these risks, a national agency was created in 2009 to address
cyberattacks and protect state information systems and critical
infrastructures. An industrial policy in favor of the national cybersecurity
industry is supported by the future investments program and the "Future
industry" plan. In 2013, the French Parliament voted for measures
recommended by the Government aimed at reinforcing cybersecurity of
operators of vital importance and those who participate in their most
critical information systems.
France's positions are supported within all international bodies, including
the United Nations (UN), which acknowledged the application of
international law to cyberspace in 2013. Bilateral operational relations
with several countries have been initiated by the State's services. The
ministries have become aware of the political and technical impact of
information technologies on their missions and administration activity and
are becoming equipped with coordinators in charge of digital issues and
security aspects. A State Information Systems Security Policy was
developed and is progressively being implemented.
In the coming years, it should be possible to reap the benefits of the
measures taken and extend the scope of public action and stakeholders.
The stability of our future, supported by digital technology, is dependent
on each person's responsibilities and the collective responsibilities of three
communities of stakeholders.
The Paris Call for Trust and Security in Cyberspace highlights France's

Good afternoon fellow delegates and most importantly our honourable
chair,
We , France stand against cyberwarfare because of many cyberattacks
one of which happened in 2011 a cyberattack targeted French businesses,
causing fraud and malware infection. The threat is intensified by the
increase in attackers' capabilities, proliferation of attack techniques, and
the development of organized crime in cyberspace. Another challenge has
arisen from the appropriation of digital wealth by a business oligopoly,
which uses their dominant position to interfere with new businesses and
harness the added value of the budding economy. Control of this mass of
data opens the way to economic destabilization and sophisticated forms
of propaganda or ways to mislead people's judgments and habits. This
threat is a matter for national defence and security due to its national
extent and strategic issues.
Therefore we created a national agency to address cyberattacks and
protect state information systems and critical infrastructures are positions
are supported within all international bodies, including the United Nations
(UN), which acknowledged the application of international law to
cyberspace in 2013. So there is no excuse for my fellow delegates in this
commission to not side by me on this basic human right of cybersecurity.
