OEWG and Cybersecurity Negotiations at the United Nations: Issues, Dynamics, and Divides

This publication comprises analyses written by our team of experts spanning 2021–2025. It brings together previously published texts, grouped thematically but presented in their original form, preserving the context in which they were written. This format allows readers to trace the evolution of negotiations on each topic and gain insight into how positions and dynamics unfolded over time.

By following the OEWG’s deliberations over its 2021–2025 cycle, this volume captures not only substantive outcomes but also the nuances of negotiation: recurring points of convergence and divergence, innovative proposals, and the gradual building of common ground. It provides readers with a comprehensive resource to understand how international discussions on ICT security have evolved and what they may signal for the future of digital governance and international peace and security.
