Microsoft is proposing a “Digital Geneva Convention” that would set internet norms for countries to help prevent unfair targeting of civilians. Microsoft President and Chief Legal Officer Brad Smith says governments should craft an international agreement that protects civilians from nation-state cyberattacks. The proposal would commit governments to implementing norms designed to protect civilians on the internet in times of peace, in the same spirit as the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949. Such a “digital convention” should also set up an independent organization that brings the public and private sectors together to investigate and release detail publicly.”]
