A number of IRP members have been nominated to a new committee at the Council of Europe on the Rights of Internet Users (MSI-DUI). The committee has been put together to develop “a compendium of existing human rights for internet users.”
The aim of the compendium is to enable users to understand their rights and to exercise them, particularly in terms of seeking effective recourse from key internet actors and government agencies. The work of the committee leads on very clearly from the work of the IRP on the Charter and the 10 IRPs and, at heart, is an attempt to move from lofty principles to practical enforcement of those.
The Committee will be running until the end of 2013. For more information visit the website.
