Global Digital Compact

Statement on the Global Digital Compact, June 2024

In the lead-up to the Summit of the Future in September 2024, a coalition of organisations are calling on the United Nations (UN) and its Member States to firmly commit to a human rights-based approach to internet governance within the Global Digital Compact (GDC). The GDC, aiming to promote an inclusive, open, sustainable, safe, and secure digital future for all, must reflect and enhance international human rights standards - particularly concerning access to information, freedom of expression, and media freedom - and consider the media community as a key stakeholder in internet governance discussions.
