Objective of international cooperation --- in cybersecurity is to strengthen global cyberspace, and I would agree with Bentom's comments in response to Valerii. Just recall that the main reason all of us are discussing cybersecurity today is this global framework, which countries unanimously identified as far back as 2000 (when adopting a UN General Assembly resolution on information and communication technologies) as the "further development of civilization, the expansion of opportunities for cooperation for the common good of all States, the enhancement of the creative potential of mankind and additional improvements in the circulation of information in the global community".
