4. ITU Mandate on Cybersecurity
2003 – 2005
WSIS entrusted ITU as sole facilitator for WSIS Action Line C5 -
“Building Confidence and Security in the use of ICTs”
2007
Global Cybersecurity Agenda (GCA) was launched by ITU
Secretary General
GCA is a framework for international cooperation in
cybersecurity
2008 to date ITU Membership endorsed the GCA
as the ITU-wide strategy on international
cooperation.
Building confidence and security in the use of ICTs is widely present in PP and Conferences’
resolutions. In particular WTSA 12, PP 10 and WTDC 10 produced Resolutions (WTSA 12 Res 50, 52,
58, PP Res 130, 174, 179, 181 and WTDC 45 and 69) which touch on the most relevant ICT security
related issues, from legal to policy, to technical and organization measures.

6. Key Decisions of the ITU's
20th Plenipotentiary Conference (PP-18)
7. Safeguarding People against the risks from ICT misuse
• Child online protection
– Billions of children now use connected mobile devices, and they are
coming online at younger ages
– While this opens new opportunities for innovative education, it also
brings a variety of risks, ranging from cyberbullying to exposure to
inappropriate and harmful content
– ITU Member States resolved for ITU's Child Online Protection (COP)
Initiative to work with Member States and partners

9. The COP Initiative aims at bringing together partners from all sectors of the global
community to ensure a safe and secure online experience for children everywhere.
Objectives
• Identify risks and vulnerabilities to children in cyberspace;
• Create awareness of the risks and issues through multiple channels;
• Develop practical tools to help governments, organizations and educators
minimize risk; and
• Share knowledge and experience while facilitating international strategic
partnership to define and implement concrete initiatives
The Child Online Protection (COP) Initiative
10. 4 Set of COP Guidelines
• Developed in cooperation with COP partners, is the first set of guidelines addressing
different stakeholders. Available in the six UN languages

• A = Accepting invitations/friendships
• R = React
• T = Tell someone about your concerns
• Guidelines for the age group 5-7 year old
• Guidelines for the age group 8-12 year old

• Activities
• ITU-ASEAN Forum on Child Online Protection (13-14 Sept 2016, Manila, Philippines)
• Child Online Protection (March 2018, Jakarta, Indonesia)
• Child Online Protection (December 2018, Nay Pyi Taw, Myanmar)
• ASEAN Strategy Framework on Child Online Protection: Report related to the framework
has been shared with ASEAN. Hope endorsement in TELMIN (Later this month)
• Prototype of 3D Multiuser Virtual Learning Environment for Children Online Protection
for raising Awareness has been developed
18. • The prototype will have different scenarios where a child is confronted with
a cyber abuse situation by a predator approaching the child via social media
• The game shows an island with different kinds of games for children. Once
they are engaged, they will be confronted by a social media screen insert,
offering interesting challenges by a K-Pop star lookalike.
• The child is represented by a child avatar. A focused discussion group has
been created to evaluate the performance and suggest future
improvements.
3D Multiuser Virtual Learning Environment to increase
awareness about online risks for children
21. Conclusions and Future Collaboration
• Protecting Children is everyone's responsibility
• Need a comprehensive strategy
• ITU Plan to revise the COP guidelines. Need implementation
partners

The WSIS happened in two phases: 2003 in Geneva and 2005 in Tunis. During the Tunis phase, WSIS goals and the implementation mechanisms for each action lines were elaborated. ITU was identified as sole facilitator of the Action Line C5: Building confidence and security in the usage of ICTs, and as such was tasked by world leaders to coordinate Cybersecurity efforts at the global level.
In line with ITU’s role as sole facilitator for WSIS Action Line CS and in accordance with other decisions by ITU Membership, the Global Cybersecurity Agenda (GCA) was launched by the ITU Secretary-General in 2007 as the ITU framework for international multi-stakeholder cooperation in cybersecurity aimed at building synergies with current and future initiatives and partners towards a safer and more secure information society.
