Read the principles we believe are vital for an open, free and secure digital future for all.
On April 28 2023, ECNL and the International Center for Not-for-Profit Law (ICNL) prepared this joint submission to contribute to the consultative process for the Global Digital Compact led by the U.N. Envoy for Technology and co-facilitated by Sweden and Rwanda. The submission touches on several core principles and key commitments:
- Connect all people to the internet
- Avoid internet fragmentation
- Protect data
- Apply human rights online
- Introduce accountability criteria for discrimination and misleading content
- Promote regulation of artificial intelligence
ICNL and ECNL appreciate this opportunity to set forth the principles and commitments that we believe are vital for an open, free, and secure digital future for all. We look forward to engaging with this process before, during, and following the Summit for the Future in 2024.
