Anne-Marie Buzatu, co-organiser of the workshop for ICT4Peace says:
“So pleased to see this great summary from our partners at The The Stimson Center Center following last week’s workshop in Bangkok.It was an honor for the ICT4peace Foundation to partner with Stimson, supported by Global Affairs Canada | Affaires mondiales Canada, on “Cyber Accountability: Navigating Norms and Legal Frameworks”.
Putting research into practice is crucial, and the engagement from participants across Southeast Asia was outstanding. Exploring complex issues like accountability in cyberspace, the application of international law and norms, attribution, and responsible technology use through practical scenarios yielded invaluable insights.
Echoing Stimson’s thanks to all participants, presenters, and special guests. A particular thank you to Allison Pytlak, James Siebens and the Stimson team for the excellent collaboration, and to Mark Manantan for his stellar facilitation.
We look forward to continuing this important work together!”
James Siebens and Allison Pytlak of Stimson and Anne-Marie, ICT4Peace.
ICT4Paeec has been organising Cybersecurity Policy and Diplomacy Courses with South-East Asian and in particular CLMV countries since many years.
Allison Pytlak reports: “At The Stimson Center we often speak about the importance of putting our research to work and are proud of being a “think and do” tank. Last week, the Cyber Program put that philosophy into action by convening a regional capacity-building workshop in Bangkok for five Southeast Asian countries in partnership with ICT4peace Foundation and supported by Global Affairs Canada | Affaires mondiales Canada.
“Cyber Accountability: Navigating Norms and Legal Frameworks” wasn’t just theory—we used scenarios and case studies to unpack how international law and norms apply to cyber capabilities, attribution processes, responsible tech use, and to explore alternative understandings of cyber deterrence and accountability at national and regional levels. The workshop kicked off a forthcoming research report on Southeast Asian cyber accountability perspectives.
Thanks to all participants for three days of sharp insights! 💡 We are excited for continued collaboration throughout the year.
Special shoutout to my colleague James Siebens, project partner Anne-Marie Buzatu and stellar facilitator Mark Manantan, and to all presenters & special guests: Songchai Chaipatiyut, Brian Finlay, Julian Mueller-Kaler, Danielle Yeow, Gatra Priyandita, PhD, Paween Thanarat, Shariffah Rashidah Syed Othman, Virpratap Vikram Singh, Michael Karimian, Alessandro Arduino 👏 The ongoing support of Frédéric Margotton, Janelle Vincent Erin Estey and Kathleen Scoggin has been invaluable.”
