The dialogue in the United Nations on arms control and information and communications technology (ICT) dates back to the late 1990s. In 1998, wary of the information warfare doctrines of the United States and the rapid proliferation of ICT, Russia decided to take the question of ICT as a threat to peace and security to the First Committee of the UN General Assembly (on disarmament and international security). This eventually resulted in the setting up of a group of governmental experts (GGE) on developments in the field of information and telecommunications in the context of international security, which met for the first time in 2004.
