      Imperialist powers routinely use cyberspace for attacks, economic sabotage, destabilizing infrastructure, and orchestrating color revolutions, often under the guise of ‘law enforcement.’

      This convention represents a strategic effort to weaponize the UN’s legal framework against imperialist cyber-operations. By codifying principles like ‘digital sovereignty’ and defining cross-border cyber-attacks as crimes, it creates a legal shield. The objective is to force powerful states to operate by rules they didn’t solely write, providing a crucial defensive tool for socialist and progressive states to protect their sovereignty and developmental gains.
