Nätanpassade mänskliga rättigheter snart här

30 July 2010 · Inlagt som Cybernormer av  

Internet Rights and Principles, som vi tidigare enbart berört vid något tillfälle, börjar se ljuset i tunneln. Då skrev jag om projektet i samband med ett av våra inlägg om Internet som mänsklig rättighet och beskrev det så här:

…det internationella och mycket arbetssamma projektet Internet Rights and Principles Coalition har samma ambitioner. De har som uttryckt målsättning att gemensamt i ett pågående samtal översätta och transponera FN:s konvention om mänskliga rättigheter till ett mer internetionaliserat sammanhang, så att den både passar och kan vara verksam i en digital kontext.

Nu börjar deras arbete så lida mot sitt slut. På en stor IGF-konferens i Vilnius i september planerar de att presentera “Charter of human rights and principles on the Internet” som slutarbetet kommer heta. IGF står för Internet Governance Forum och är FN-initierade forum som arrangeras där frågor rörande övergripade frågor kring infrastruktur och utbyggnad av Internet hanteras. Svenska representanter som brukar delta är exempelvis Post- och Telestyrelsen, Näringsdepartementet och andra initierade nyckelpersoner.
Det utkast till näträttighetshartern jag fått se är riktigt ambitiöst och verkar täcka in väldigt mycket. I förordet står exvis:

This Charter applies human rights standards and principles to the internet. The internet is the emerging foundation of global communication, with other communication and media platforms, from broadcast to mobile phones, gradually converging around internet-based networks. The internet is also a globally interconnected resource: actions taken by users, businesses, or governments in one country can shape the nature and function of the network for all people all over the world.

(…)

The following rights and principles identified as crucial for the governance of the internet are based on the core values of human rights like human dignity, equality and non-discrimination, solidarity, diversity, rule of law and social justice. All stakeholders need to respect, protect and fulfil all the human rights on the Internet, and to ensure that the internet operates to evolve in a way that supports and expands these human rights as an instrument supportive to human rights. Internet governance must therefore be guided by internationally agreed human rights standards, and designed and implemented in an inclusive process bringing together public administrations, governments, civil society as well as businesses. This Charter seeks to support that process through applying human rights standards to the internet.

När det färdiga resultatet kommer i början av september kommer vi få anledning att återkomma till det här. Tills dess kan vi fortsätta grotta ner oss i hur det så ofta blir totalhaveri när mellan olik skyddsvärden på nätet ställs mot varandra. Det är där vi är idag.
