The Council of Europe has released in 2014 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.
You could find the Guide available in 14 languages here.
