A Declaration on a Common Understanding of International Law in Cyberspace, was approved by the Council of European Union at its meeting held on 18 November 2024. The EU and its Member States reaffirmed their full commitment to the United Nations framework of responsible State behaviour in cyberspace, adopted by consensus by the United Nations General Assembly, which affirms inter alia that international law, in particular the UN Charter, international human rights law and international humanitarian law, fully applies to cyberspace. EU States have conveyed their common understanding on a non-exhaustive set of legal elements, which complements and is without prejudice to current and future national positions of EU Member States as well as any future evolution of this common understanding on the application of international law to cyberspace. Looking ahead, EU will continue to further develop, extend, update and share its understanding of the application of international law to cyberspace, at national, regional and international level, and encourage all UN Member States to do the same.
