. @MarisePayne “Last month, after two years of negotiation, the UN open-ended group on cyber, the OEWG, resolved, by universal affirmation, by every UN member state, that existing international law and agreed norms apply to state conduct in cyberspace.”

. @MarisePayne “We shouldn& #39;t be deceived by the simplicity of this statement...it banishes the notion that cyberspace is the Wild West. It establishes in cyberspace a framework, binding at international law, against which countries can be held accountable for their actions.”

. @MarisePayne “We don& #39;t take this commitment lightly. We act and we& #39;ll continue to act in accordance with our obligations under international law and consistent with the agreed norms of responsible behaviour in cyberspace.”
