<br>
Today, 4 March, ARTICLE 19 and Coding Rights are launching ‘Net of<br>
Rights’, a short film which explores the link between internet protocols<br>
and human rights online. The film will screen at 6pm at the Internet<br>
Freedom Festival.<br>
<br>
Please find the film Net of Rights here:<br>

It is too-often assumed that there is no link between protocols (the<br>
standards which underpin the way the internet functions) and human<br>
rights, but this is simply not the case, as the film argues.<br>
<br>
The Internet aspires to be the global ‘network of networks’, providing<br>
connectivity for all users, at all times, for any content. Connectivity<br>
increases the capacity for individuals to exercise their rights, meaning<br>
that the architectural design of the internet is, necessarily,<br>
intertwined with the human rights framework.<br>
<br>
Promoting open, secure and reliable connectivity is essential for the<br>
rights to privacy, expression and assembly. But how are these concepts<br>
addressed at the protocol level? Without proper definition, the human<br>
rights-enabling characteristics of the internet are at risk.<br>
<br>
The role of human rights in Internet policy is slowly becoming part of<br>
the general discourse. Former United Nations (UN) Special Rapporteur on<br>
the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and<br>
expression, Frank La Rue, explicitly spoke of the replationship, leading<br>
to the approval of the landmark resolution "on the promotion, protection<br>
and enjoyment of human rights on the Internet" at the UN Human Rights<br>
Council, and the resolution "The right to privacy in the digital age" at<br>
the UN General Assembly.<br>
<br>
Mapping the relationship between human rights and internet protocols and<br>
architectures is a new research challenge, which requires the<br>
development of a consistent methodology, bringing human rights experts<br>
together with the community of researchers and developers of Internet<br>
standards and technologies. The Human Rights Protocol Research Group is<br>
a group chartered to research how standards and protocols (the rules by<br>
which the internet functions) can enable, strengthen, or threaten human<br>
rights.<br>
<br>
The rights-enabling characteristics of the Internet will be increasingly<br>
endangered if they are not properly defined, described and protected as<br>
such. And, indeed, the other way around: by not protecting these<br>
characteristics, we risk loss of functionality and connectivity in the<br>
architecture of the internet itself.<br>
<br>
To protect human rights online, it will be necessary to explore and map<br>
the link between rights and protocol, ensuring the survival of a<br>
decentralized and collaborative internet, in which freedom of expression<br>
through unimpeded connectivity remains a central principle, and a<br>
guiding force.<br>
<br>
Conceived in partnership between ARTICLE 19 and Coding Rights, this film<br>
aims to highlight the importance of addressing this issue within the<br>
technical community and human rights advocates, but also to feed into<br>
the work of the Human Rights Protocol Considerations research group<br>
(HRPC) in the Internet Research Task Force (IRTF). This group is<br>
currently mapping the relation between human rights and Internet<br>
protocols, in order to strengthen the Internet as a human rights<br>
enabling environment, in which freedom of expression through unimpeded<br>
connectivity remains a central principle and guiding force.<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
<br>
