The measure was passed during the council session of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), held from 28 April to 8 May 2026, marking the first time the body has formally denounced such attacks on digital infrastructure.WAM<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Geneva: The UAE led a diplomatic effort at a key United Nations forum in Geneva that resulted in the unanimous adoption of a resolution condemning attacks on civilian telecommunications and information technology infrastructure, including submarine cables in the Gulf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UAE introduced the draft resolution on behalf of the GCC states and Jordan, in a move that reaffirmed its growing role as a regional voice in international forums. The proposal secured broad backing from member states and was adopted by consensus, while a separate draft submitted by Iran did not achieve agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The resolution includes a formal international condemnation of attacks targeting telecommunications infrastructure in Bahrain, Kuwait, the UAE and Jordan, with particular focus on damage to submarine cables in the Gulf corridor, a critical artery for global connectivity linking Asia, the Middle East, Europe and Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also calls on the ITU leadership to monitor and assess such incidents and to report on their global implications, alongside urging coordinated international support for affected countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative builds on a wider international momentum, following recent resolutions by the United Nations Security Council and the Human Rights Council condemning attacks on civilian infrastructure, reinforcing a growing consensus around the need to safeguard digital systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking during the session, Jamal Al Musharakh, the UAE\u2019s permanent representative to the United Nations and other international organisations in Geneva, said the attacks on communications infrastructure represented a direct threat to essential services, including emergency response, humanitarian coordination and economic activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He added that their impact extended beyond national borders, affecting the resilience and stability of digital networks at both regional and global levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Majed Al Mesmar, Director-General of the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority, said telecommunications infrastructure is \u201cthe backbone of our shared digital future\u201d, stressing that protecting it is a collective responsibility essential to maintaining global connectivity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
