THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF DIGITAL RIGHTS
Human Rights are a major concept governing the necessary protection people need. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, proclaimed at UN’s 3rd General Assembly in 1948, embodies this spirit and established a fundamental milestone in ensuring everyone is treated with respect regardless of origin, race, gender or condition. The UDHR is regarded as the document of reference to ensure people are given the due respect they deserve by birthright.
Over the years, societies have increasingly moved towards the use of digital devices to increase their communications and knowledge. At the time of the proclamarion of the UDHR no one could really forecast this new pervasive reality whose consequences threaten to undermine all the achievements obtained over the decades.
At TIOF we believe that it is necessary to address this situation in a different way than it has been done until now, complementing the efforts made by organizations worldwide to protect Human Rights on the Internet.
To this end, we work on a Universal Declaration of Digital Rights which will, among other subjects, aims to:
– Extend Human Rights protection over any Digital Domain:
Circumscribing the application to only Internet is not enough. It is necessary to cover the full range of present and future digital interactions that users experience.
– Regulate the creation of a software architecture framework that will ensure the enforcement of Human Rights in those Digital Domains.
We are currently working on a draft proposal for a Universal Declaration of Digital Rights. For this, we are preparing a collaboration platform to invite everyone to participate in its content.
Updates on the evolution of this initiative will be posted on the UDDR Working Draft platform and related channels from TIOF.
