[Chapter-delegates] Video: Human Rights Council panel on Internet freedom

[Nicolas Seidler]

Dear all,

We thought you might be interested in this set of video highlights from a UN Human Rights Council side-panel on "Internet freedom, security and development", organised on 31 May by Sweden, with support from the Internet Society.

Session highlights: http://youtu.be/KduvqZJM-0Q

(full session: http://youtu.be/ci69UED7zkI)

The panel, including speakers from UNESCO, ICANN, ISOC, IT for Change and the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was intended as a follow-up to the Council's "Internet Resolution" 20/8<http://www.ohchr.org/Documents/HRBodies/HRCouncil/RegularSession/Session20/A.HRC.20.L.13_en.doc> adopted in August 2012, which re-emphasized that fundamental rights in the offline world are just as valid in the online environment.

If you are interested, I also invite you to take a look at this blog post including some takeaways and reflections from the panel discussion:
