Committee
Committee on Legal Affairs and Human Rights
Origin
2020 - First part-session
In the draft resolution, replace paragraph 2 with the following paragraph:

"The Assembly recalls that in its Resolution 2217 (2018) on legal challenges related to hybrid war and human rights obligations, it raised concerns over non-military techniques of 'hybrid war', such as cyberattacks, mass disinformation campaigns and interference in the election processes, as well as over the adequacy of existing legal norms. It was particularly concerned about numerous cases of mass disinformation campaigns intended to undermine security, public order and peaceful democratic processes, and stressed the vital need to develop tools to protect democracy from 'information weapons'".
