Join us on October 6th for an interactive session with Camino Kavanagh to learn more! She will introduce you to the emerging normative framework governing States' use of ICTs/cyber in the context of international security, discuss the confidence building measures (CBMs) that have been agreed by States to prevent the risk of conflict stemming from the malicious use of ICTs, and explain what future work needs to be done to ensure a peaceful digital future. After her introduction it is up to you to bring up the questions that you have always wanted to ask!
