The Council of Europe has released the Guide to human rights of Internet users, designed as a tool to: be used by individuals and to be relied upon when facing difficulties in exercising their rights; help governments and public institutions to discharge their obligations to protect, respect and remedy human rights; be a kick-starter for national discussions on protection and promotion of human rights of Internet users and their empowerment in Internet environments; promote corporate social responsibility by encouraging the private sector to act responsibly and with respect for the human rights of individuals that they contract with.
The Guide focuses on :
- access and non-discrimination
- freedom of expression and information
- freedom of assembly, association and participation
- privacy and data protection
- education and literacy
- protection of children and young people
- right to effective remedies for violations of human rights
