Introducción

A medida que internet se universaliza, la intersección entre internet y derechos humanos, incluyendo la libertad de expresión y de asociación, es cada vez más importante y cada vez más compleja, en tanto internet afecta cada vez más aspectos de la sociedad, la economía, la política y la cultura. Este informe sugiere dos formas de confeccionar un mapa de esta intersección y formula un conjunto de preguntas para la consideración de aquellas personas interesadas en internet, los derechos y las políticas públicas más amplias.

Introduction

The intersection between the internet and human rights, including freedoms of expression and association, is increasingly important as the internet becomes more universal, and increasingly complex as the internet affects more aspects of society, economy, politics and culture. This report suggests two ways to map this intersection, and raises a number of questions that need to be considered by those concerned with the internet, with rights, and with wider public policy.

Unlike any other medium, the internet enables individuals to seek, receive and impart information and ideas of all kinds instantaneously and inexpensively across national borders. Unlike any other technological development, it has created an interactive form of communication, which not only allows you to send information in one direction, but also to send information in many directions and receive an immediate response.

Introduction

A growing phenomenon in the internet governance arena is the emergence of charters and sets of principles which aim to guide policy making and to influence the behaviour of different stakeholders using the internet. The phenomenon is predominately driven by two separate but overlapping purposes: to articulate and promote a particular vision of the internet; and as an alternative to legislation and ex-ante regulation which is often considered ineffective, impractical and/or harmful.
