  • The paper starts with the statement that for the future of mankind cybersecurity is as important asthe management of climate change. Building a global cybersecurity architecture should be a priority fordiplomacy in the digital age. The paper covers the three main intergovernmental cybersecurity negotiationplatforms: 1. The “Open Ended Working Group” (OEWG), operating under the 1st Committee of theUN General Assembly, deals with norms for state behaviour in cyberspace. 2. The new UN “Ad HocCommittee” (AHC) has a mandate to draft a convention against cybercrime. 3. The Group of GovernmentalExperts for Lethal Autonomous Weapon Systems (GGE LAWS) is working on an agreement for dronesand killerrobots. The author argues, that due to the complexity of the issues a reasonable involvement ofnon-state actors is needed to find workable solutions. The paper concludes, that conceptual disagreementsabout the future of the digital world between cybersuperpowers should not be an obstacle to selectiveagreement on stability in cyberspace
