The UN: Defining Cyber Rules of the Road?

Venue: Virtual. Join the Washington Foreign Law Society and the Stimson Center in this current look at one of the most dominant forces in our lives today. The internet, computers and related technologies are all fabulous. Except when they are not. The issue is not only cyber criminals stealing our data or locking our info with ransomware; we have been deluged with fake news, tricked into cyber addictions, and – in some countries – had our lights turned off. This series of discussions seeks to dissect cyber issues as they relate to current and potential legal accountability. Speakers include: Bassem Hassan, Counsellor, Permanent Mission of Egypt to the United Nations; Robert M. Young, Legal Counsel, Criminal, Security and Diplomatic Law Division, Global Affairs Canada; Giuliana Canè, Washington Foreign Law Society; and Debra Decker, Stimson Center.
