Islamabad: Pakistan on Friday called for a legally-binding comprehensive framework under the UN's auspices to govern global cyberspace.

Addressing an event in New York, Pakistan's Deputy Permanent Representative to the UN Usman Jadoon outlined the significant threats posed by unregulated cyberspace and the malicious use of ICTs, including cyber-attacks, cyber-terrorism, disinformation campaigns, and attacks on critical infrastructure.

He explained that, in response to these threats, Pakistan has established a national position on cyberspace security.

Ambassador Jadoon asserted that it is time to create a legally-binding comprehensive framework under the UN's auspices to govern global cyberspace.
