as an official document of the 77th session of the UN General Assembly.
The ongoing international discussion on the IIS indicates growing support among the UN Member States of adopting a universal legally binding instrument that would ensure stability and security in the global information space. Our initiative is a prototype of such an international treaty. The Concept of the Convention is based on the principles of sovereign equality of States and non-interference in their internal affairs. It is aimed at prevention and settlement of conflicts, establishment of interstate cooperation, including on building capacities of the developing countries in the field of information security.
Russia and the co-sponsors are ready to further discuss the language of the document and take into account possible suggestions and comments. We call on our foreign partners to join the initiative in the interest of building a fair and comprehensive system of international information security.
