This submission from the Russian Federation is one of many anticipated contributions by member states to this process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lukOlejnik\/status\/1421525550212993027?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Via Twitter<\/a>, Dr Lukasz Olejnik, independent cybersecurity researcher and consultant, noted that the draft convention disallows online communication calling for &#8220;subversive or armed activities directed towards the violent overthrow of the regime of another State,&#8221; and requires service providers to provide &#8220;technical assistance,&#8221; which generally means providing a backdoor for authorities.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s another attempt in the longer history of such projects attempted for submission by Russia,&#8221; said Olejnik, a former cyberwarfare advisor at the International Committee of the Red Cross in Geneva.<\/p>\n<p>Russia, he said, has been consistently submitting proposals of this sort for a while, pointing to a similar draft <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mid.ru\/en\/foreign_policy\/official_documents\/-\/asset_publisher\/CptICkB6BZ29\/content\/id\/191666\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">from 2011<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This new proposal is particularly large, basically a complete proposal for a cybercrime or cybersecurity treaty,&#8221; said Olejnik. &#8220;While it is clear that cybersecurity is among the top agenda items in domestic and international policy (think the recent Biden-Putin meeting in Geneva as a good example), the proposal has a number of contentious items that would be rather hard to swallow for many Western countries and societies, in particular clauses such as those that would potentially curb freedom of speech, expression or press.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Olejnik said the draft rules call for technical backdoors in network systems, network wiretapping capabilities, and potential technical censorship.<\/p>\n<p>Where Western countries are concerned with &#8220;cybersecurity,&#8221; he said, Eastern countries tend to focus on &#8220;information security,&#8221; which often encompasses the press and social media.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t think that the project stands a particularly significant chance, at least as of today, but with the political process of the UN, who knows what happens in a few months,&#8221; said Olejnik. \u00ae<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE <a
