| Summary/Abstract |
THE SITUATION in the information space is currently deteriorating - in fact, it is in a state of complete chaos. In this regard, Special Representative of the President of the Russian Federation for International Cooperation on Information Security Andrey Krutskikh has rightly noted that there is an emergent need to create a certain set of "traffic rules" - i.e., a code of conduct in the international information sphere. International law is expected to play a regulating role in international relations. The issue of its applicability has been on the agenda of specialized UN agencies for more than a decade, starting with the Group of Governmental Experts (GGE) and the UN Open-ended Working Group (both groups completed their work last year), as well as the UN Open-ended Working Group (OEWG) on developments in the field of information and telecommunications in the context of international security 2021-2025, created on Russia's initiative. The mandate of this group reflects the applicability of international law on the basis of UN General Assembly Resolution 75/240.
