The Paris Call for Trust and Security in Cyberspace was announced in 2018 by the French President.
It was announced during the Internet Governance Forum held at UNESCO and the Paris Peace Forum.
It is a non-binding declaration.

Nine Principles: The Paris Call is based on nine common principles. Such as:

Protect Individuals and Infrastructure: Prevent and recover from malicious cyber and digital activities.
- As it threatens or causes significant, indiscriminate or systemic harm to individuals and critical infrastructure.
Protect the Internet: Prevent activity that intentionally and substantially damages the general availability or integrity of the public core of the Internet.

Defend Intellectual Property: Prevent information and communications technology-enabled theft of intellectual property. Such as trade secrets or other confidential business information. It provides a competitive advantage to information holder.
Non-Proliferation: Develop ways to prevent the proliferation of malicious software and practices intended to cause harm.
