I understand there is a discussion on an initiative by France and Netherlands regarding discussing Freedom of Expression and the Internet. And I am asked to explain a bit on what is going on.

This is just one of several things that is related to HR issues. It all started maybe a year or two ago, and it was brought up for example at the IGF in Hyderabad 2008, and specifically during the Swedish Presidency of the EU (and of course at the IGF in Sharm 2009).The main initiatives at the moment that I know about is the meeting France and Netherlands in Paris next week (with a quite detailed agenda, with four major points on it -- if I remember correctly). And an initiative by the UN Rapporteur on Human Rights, Frank de la Rue, that the Swedish Government Foreign Ministry is supporting.

There might be more initiatives similar to these. And specifically I know of course many people use the terms "Human Rights" and "Freedom of Expression" in many Internet related discussions where blocking, filtering and/or non-harmonization of rules and regulation pops up.
