The Internet can make a
significant contribution to
human life. It can foster
prosperity and peace, inspire
intellectual growth, contribute
to mutual understanding
among peoples. The benefits are
many, but so too are the actual
and prospective harms.
Reaching a global consensus
on how best to limit the grave
risks of cyber conflict is in the
clear interest of us all, wherever
on the globe we might find ourselves. These reflections have for aim to
foster better understanding of
these risks and to encourage
concerted action toward their
reduction.
