| Summary: | Cyber weapons now are an extension of state power. In hopes of gaining a strategic advantage, many countries including the United States, Russia and China are developing offensive cyber-capabilities to disrupt political, economic, and social institutions in competitor nations. These activities have lead to a cyber arms race that is spiraling out of control. This imminent global threat challenges the international community to be proactive. The purpose of this paper is to propose an international convention to throttle the development, proliferation and use of cyber weapons before they cause electronic Armageddon. We begin by examining three successful efforts in arms control and use the lessons learned to draft a convention that can serve as a starting point for formal multilateral negotiations. |
