The features of confidence-building measures in the field of information security are studied. It is noted that international peace and security are of global importance in modern conditions and one of the ways to ensure the stability of international relations is an equal partnership of states on the basis of generally recognized principles and norms of international law. The article analyzes the current issue of international law - the creation of confidence-building measures in the field of information security. Special attention is paid to the analysis of the international legal framework for cooperation in information relations. The work of the Open-ended Working Group on Developments in the Field of Information and Telecommunications in the context of international security was studied, and one of the most important achievements of the Working Group was the Final Report of March 12, 2021. It is established that the capabilities of modern technical devices are constantly expanding and evolving, such technologies can be used by attackers to make society more vulnerable and create large-scale negative consequences for most countries, because no state is protected from possible threats. It is argued that in order to solve such problems, it is necessary to make common efforts on the part of all countries to strengthen mutual cooperation and achieve large-scale results in the field of creating a secure information environment. It is concluded that one of the forms of cooperation between states is confidence-building measures in the field of information security. The classification of measures is proposed and a conclusion is made about the fundamental importance of measures for the successful cooperation of states in order to ensure the international information security of each state.
