Syria does not warrant or support any forms of terrorism, whether they be of virtual or political means. We know that terrorism is an extremely relevant term in today’s society and we realize that the Middle East has become synonymous for the center of terrorism. Syria has born the brunt of many cyber terrorism blames in the last century and we are trying to change this stigma. Cyber terrorism is something that has been used in the Middle East particularly by countries including Israel and United States. Syria wishes that all forms of cyber terrorism would cease no matter if the attacks came from within or outside of Syria.
With the increasing advancements of technology today, cyber terrorism has become extremely difficult to track. As such, programs such as Stuxnet have been circulating and damaging many forms of Syrian property. Such programs can devastate not only military targets, but civilian and economic targets as well. Such attacks can cripple Syria.
Syria wish to start a pack that helps protect countries from cyber terrorism. Such a program would be collaboration between many countries. Such a program would not be mandatory, as to not invade on countries national sovereignty, however the greater number that joins would help spread costs and labor.
Syria wants the best for its government and its people and will go great lengths to achieve it. Syria is willing to collaborate with other nations, and it just asks that all forms of blame and attacks on Syria using the "cyber-terrorism" tagline may be ceased
