The Security Council,

Recognising the lack of trust in ICTs and the significant need to increase this,

Highlighting one of the main causes of distrust in ICTs being a lack of awareness regarding their

social, economic, and political advantages,

Viewing with appreciation past efforts of the international community to enhance trust and

cooperation in ICTs,

Deeply alarmed by the existence of vacant positions in the technological sector,

Realizing the huge cost of copyright laws on the foreign and domestic markets in developing
countries that are struggling to start off due to the high amount of copyright laws stripping them
of the ability to reach profitable corporate status,

Recognizing the profitability of ICTs yet deploring the sole usage of ICTs as a method of financial
gain rather than an instrument for social change,

Noting the importance of ensuring systematic inclusion of ICTs in all sectors,

Emphasizing the need for a more concise and specific international framework to promote

trust amongst citizens,

Considering ICTs to be a formidable tool to close the gap between the developing world and

the developed world,

Noting that development and use of ICTs accounts for as high as 60% of annual labour
productivity gains,

1. Suggests the development of existing organisations with actions including the following:

a. Spreading awareness for ICTs and cybersecurity through means such as but not
limited to television and mobile phone campaigns, with the aim of it being
accessible,
