UAE calls for international Internet convention to prevent the use of Internet by terrorists

Hanoi, 30th March, 2015 (WAM) -- A UAE MP has urged governments to strengthen their security cooperation with the private sector so as to develop a holistic understanding of cyber dependence, risks and challenges at the overarching national level that takes account of individual privacy concerns while helping governments to deal with security attacks; and urged parliaments to make use of all the oversight tools at their disposal to ensure that cyber-related activities are rigorously monitored and to enact national laws, with due regard for the constitution, that stipulate stiffer penalties for cyber-attacks. Sultan Saif Al Yamahi, member of the Federal National Council (FNC), told a session on Cyber warfare: A serious threat to peace and global security, as part of works of the 132nd IPU Assembly's Standing Committee on Peace and International Security, that there is a need to work for the conclusion of an international Internet convention to prevent the use of the Internet by terrorists or terrorist organisations for illegal activities, in particular to raise funds, enlist members or publish ideas inciting people to violence and hatred. – Emirates News Agency, WAM – http://www.wam.ae/en/news/emirates/1395278628382.html
