This recommendation outlines the obligations of states to protect and promote human rights in the digital environment and the responsibilities of internet intermediaries to respect the internationally recognized human rights of their users and third parties affected by their activities.
It emphasises the need for a human rights and rule of law-based framework that lays out the main obligations of states with respect to the protection and promotion of human rights in the digital environment, and the respective responsibilities of intermediaries.
The recommendation calls on states to create a safe and enabling online environment where all affected parties know their rights and duties, to encourage the development of appropriate self- and co-regulatory frameworks, and to ensure the availability of redress mechanisms for all claims of violations of human rights in the digital environment.
