  1. “Furthermore, they are crucial in addressing misinformation and disinformation that might hinder mandate implementation and threaten the safety and security of peacekeepers.”

  2. “As technologies evolve, we can also use them more efficiently to improve the transparency and agility of the Security Council. We should encourage the use of new technologies to provide women, young people and civil society with greater access to peace processes and peacebuilding and peacekeeping initiatives. United Nations peacekeeping operations should make use of existing digital technologies to their full potential in order to improve the implementation of their mandate. I would like to highlight the importance of new technologies for strategic communications in peacekeeping missions. Strategic communications act as enablers and have a multiplier effect across all mandated areas, notably in relation to the protection of civilians and the women and peace and security agendas.”

  3. “We also underline the importance of adhering to the voluntary, non-binding norms for the responsible behaviour of States in cyberspace endorsed by the General Assembly, including through protecting critical information infrastructure supporting essential services to the public. To address the challenge of disinformation, Governments and societies must adopt broad strategies. Educational campaigns and open debates to raise awareness, as well as cooperation between public and private actors such as social media companies can help tackle the misuse of digital platforms for the purpose of incitement to violence and terrorism. International cooperation regarding the use of digital technology has greatly improved our capacity to identify common threats, including from non-State actors such as terrorist groups.”

  4. “Today’s discussion has touched upon some of those challenges, which are diverse in nature and therefore require different modalities of State responses. The General Assembly has recognized that international law, in particular the Charter of the United Nations, is applicable to States’ activities in cyberspace and is essential to maintaining peace and stability, respecting human rights and promoting an open, secure, peaceful and accessible digital environment. International human rights law and international humanitarian law must be respected online as well as offline.”

  5. “Education, trading and banking systems, among many others, have been able to adapt existing technologies to the sudden new reality. The Council and the United Nations system depended on them to continue to hold meetings, and today we have even gotten used to the idea of listening to briefers who are not able to attend a meeting in person. Of course, those benefits have not been enjoyed equally everywhere, due to persistent inequalities in the access to information and communication technologies. Tackling that digital divide remains an important task of the international community. As we are well aware, the same digital technologies that have revolutionized our lives by allowing the generation, storage, dissemination and access to vast amounts of information have often been misused by Governments and non-State actors.”

  6. “Brazil thanks the United States presidency for organizing today`s briefing on the impact of digital technologies in maintaining international peace and security. We also express our appreciation to Under-Secretary-General Rosemary DiCarlo, Ms. Nyabola and Mr. Druet for their insightful presentations. The process of digital transformation brings great benefits and opportunities for humankind, including for building peace and understanding and for empowering underrepresented and vulnerable groups. The coronavirus disease pandemic has shown society the great benefits of the use of digital technologies, which have proved to be efficient tools to keep daily life possible, with the restrictions imposed by the threat of the virus.”
