2.1 conduct a study on hybrid war
threats, with a special focus on non-military means, in order to identify

considering a new Council of Europe convention on this subject;
2.2 draft principles for regulatory reform of social media
platforms to ensure transparency in the conduct of free and fair
elections;

with a view to identifying legal standards and good practice and
ensuring compliance of this practice with the safeguards provided
for by the European Convention on Human Rights (ETS No. 5);
2.4 step up co-operation with other international organisations
working in this field, in particular the European Union and the
North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO);
2.5 promote the ratification by member and non-member States
of the Convention on Cybercrime (ETS No. 185);
