Take Action. Get Involved.
100+ organizations and Individuals have endorsed our Call to Action for WSIS+20 and Beyond.
1.1. Digital rights are human rights. Legal systems that protect and promote rights–both individual and collective–need to be made fit for purpose and adequate to our digital condition. There is no right to public participation without the right to belong in the digital public sphere; no right to privacy in the absence of the right to consensual representation; no right to knowledge sans epistemic rights of communities to innovate from their shared data resources; and no right to equality without algorithmic transparency. The respective roles and responsibilities of state and non-state actors in upholding these rights must be defined.
1.2. An international governance framework for the global communication commons must be rooted in a ‘right to communicate for all’ that strikes at the heart of techno-fascism and its chilling effects.
1.3. The Legally Binding Instrument on Transnational Corporations, currently being negotiated, needs specific provisions on corporate liability for the societal harms of data and AI innovations.
