  CET\nMain session 2 – Cyber interference with democracy\nCyber interferen
 ce with democracy” refers to the use of information and communication tech
 nologies to manipulate or undermine democratic institutions\, processes\, 
 or public trust in governance. Elections are at the core of democracy. Int
 erference with elections through malicious cyber activities undermines fre
 e\, fair and clean elections and trust. It may target computers and data u
 sed as well as officials and candidates participating in elections and ele
 ction campaigns\, and involve information operations\, the misuse of socia
 l media\, evading transparency\, circumventing rules on elections and poli
 tical finances\, and other activities. Such threats have been experienced 
 in particular since 2014. In 2019\, the Cybercrime Convention Committee (T
 -CY) adopted a Guidance Note on election interference with a focus on crim
 inal law aspects. In 2024/2025\, the challenge of cyber interference compr
 omising elections has again come to the forefront in multiple countries.  
 The purpose of this session is to identify:\n\nthe different types of mali
 cious actions and actors involved in cyber interference with democracy\;\n
 the rules and laws that are being violated\;\nthe measures needed to preve
 nt and respond to such cyber interference in accordance with principles of
  human rights\, democracy and the rule of law.\n\nCDT Featured Speaker:\n
