Event description

As April is coming to an end, we look back at the main digital policy highlights of the past weeks.

The UN Open-Ended Working Group (OEWG) held its second substantive session, discussing the responsible behaviour of states in cyberspace. However, the discussions on substantive issues were overshadowed by disagreements over possible models for multistakeholder engagement.

A week after the OEWG meeting, US and Russia cyber relations took a hit as the USA pulled out of bilateral cyber talks, putting a stop to a period of cyber detente.

This month’s Internet Governance Briefing offers a broad perspective and a deeper analysis. As always, the event will include our Digital Policy Barometer shaped by other updates in April.

Register to join us at the Digital Watch Internet Governance Briefing on Tuesday, 26th April, at 12.00 UTC (14.00 CEST).
