  • The Question of State Sponsored Cyber Terrorism and Espionage Student Officer
    st th The Hague International Model United Nations Qatar 2020 | 21 ​ – 24 ​ of January 2020 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Forum: The Security Council Issue: The Question of State sponsored cyber terrorism and espionage Student Officer: Sebastian Santoni Position: President Introduction On the 27th of April 2007, Estonia experienced the first of a series of cyber attacks which would go on to shape laws, policies, and attitudes within and outside its borders. The country was bombarded by thousands of independent actors, resulting in the complete loss of most internet services for three weeks. The Estonian parliament, banks and media were all targeted in the midst of political disagreements with Russia. Although not the first incident of cyber terrorism, this was definitely one of the most destructive, managing to make an entire country go offline. In response, the world’s first ever regulations concerning actions in cyberspace were drafted, hoping to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future. However, incidents of cyber terrorism and espionage continued and remain a major threat to international security. Not only can they create mistrust and paranoia between nations, but also paralyse the organizations and resources core to their economic, social and political stability. This is especially true when such acts are initiated by countries and their related bodies, placing the world’s most sophisticated technology in the wrong hands. As members of the United Nations, it is the responsibility of countries to use their resources, voices and cooperation to strengthen international cyber security and work towards a world where state-sponsored cyber terrorism and espionage are void. Organizations such as the Kaspersky Lab and the Cooperative Cyber Defence Center of Excellence have made strides toward combating the issue, although they are restricted by an acute lack of relevant treaties and laws.
