Two UN reports citing Citizen Lab cover digital risks to defenders and unregulated cybermercenaries.

Citizen Lab said two United Nations reports to which it submitted recommendations were published in September 2026. A report from the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights assesses risks to human rights defenders from digital technologies, cites Citizen Lab reports, and summarizes a Citizen Lab submission. A second report from the UN Working Group on the use of mercenaries draws on Citizen Lab research to assess human-rights impacts of cybermercenaries and highlights the absence of clear regulation in cyberspace.
