    1) Cybersecurity has become increasingly important as programming and technology have advanced, but gaps remain that allow for cybercrimes and cyberwarfare to take place. 2) Nation states like Russia can deny involvement in cyber attacks even when evidence points to state-sponsored hacking, making accountability difficult. For example, Russia denied attacks on 400 Australian businesses and claims of election interference in the US. 3) Without international agreements on definitions and accountability, cyber warfare could replace traditional warfare by targeting infrastructure and information through computer networks, with loose rules of engagement. Australia supports greater international cooperation on these issues.

    HMUN: Position Paper

    Committee : The Legal Committee


    Topic : Cybersecurity, Cybercrime, Cyberwarfare
    Country: Australia
    School: Sancta Maria International School

    A. Just in the span of half a century programming has become a superpower. As with
    any paradigm shift an imbalance is created, and imbalance which can be exploited.
    As a fixed universal definition has not been yet agreed on, this makes judgement on
    these explotations or cyber crimes (aside from the technical aspects) an ecen more
    demanding undertaking. Furhtermore, once found out the source of the crime, the
    nation can simply deny the claims as it is is nearly impossible to find out whether
    the hackers are related to the government or not. For example, recently in April,
    the Defence Minister Marise Payne revealed that an attack was detected in which
    upto 400 Australian businesses were targeted by Russian hackers. Secondly, it is
    commonly assumed that Russian hacker also manipulated the latest American
    elections .These exploits have the potential to edge a future attack. In both these
    cases even with substansive evidence such as the claims of FBI assistant director
    Howard Marshall Russia has denied the carrying out of attacks on all occasions. This
    cannot carry on.

    This method of exploiting information and furthermore manipulating information


    can also be used as a method of war only this time instead of fighting with large
    armies and mechanical weapons, computers would be used to disable basic
    infrastructure, crash stock markets and destroy or alter information. With loose
    bases on reference to retaliation.

    B. The Delegate of Australia
