all</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: 'Calibri','sans-serif'; color: windowtext; font-size: 11pt;">We’re
now past the deadline for comments, so I’ve pasted a final version below for
the consensus call. Please could you send a message to the list to say
if you support the statement or not. I’ll now hand over to Ginger and
Ian to finalise and coordinate it getting read out at the IGF planning
meeting. I’ll also get in touch with the DCs.</span></p>

– this version includes your edits, apart from in the final para as I think
Parminder’s comments made sense. Hope that’s acceptable to
you.</span></p>

everyone for your inputs. I think it’s a strong statement

<p class="MsoNormal">FINAL STATEMENT (V6) – for consensus call</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>The Caucus [and undersigned DCs] repeat their request
that the programme for IGF-4 in Egypt gives greater priority to human
rights. The WSIS Declaration and Tunis Agenda strongly reaffirmed the
centrality of human rights in the information society. Despite this, human
rights and associated principles have received too little attention at the
IGF so<br>far. This is problematic because :<br><br>*
Fundamental human rights such as the rights to freedom of expression,
privacy, civic participation, education and development are strongly
threatened by the actions and restrictive policies of a growing number of
actors vis a vis the internet, including state and private actors at both
national as well as global levels.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>* The internet presents new
opportunities for upholding and advancing human rights, for example through
enhancing access to knowledge and common resources. It is vital that we
build on and enhance these opportunities. Ignoring these avenues to uphold
human rights implies a serious opportunity cost for the well being of
peoples, globally.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>* International human rights, as
contained in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and confirmed by the
core human rights treaties and other universal human rights instruments, are
legally binding. The growing role of information and communication
technologies has not changed the legal obligation of states that have
ratified these instruments to respect, protect and implement the human
rights of their citizens.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>* The human rights framework is an
internationally agreed set of standards that has practical as well as
ethical value. It balances different rights against each other to
preserve individual and public interest. In addition to its legally
binding implications, human rights are therefore a useful tool for
addressing internet governance issues, such as how to deal with security
concerns on the internet in compliance with the rights to freedom of
expression and privacy. Besides stating the obligations of states and
governments, the human rights framework also allows us to derive the rights
and responsibilities of other stakeholders. <br><br>The Internet
Governance Caucus [and undersigned DCs] call for the human rights dimension
of all internet governance issues to be included in the planning and
implementation of all future IGF sessions, so that human rights are given
the attention they deserve as cross-cutting issues. This should
include explicit consideration of how global, regional and national policies
affect human rights, and the development of positive policy principles to
build an open and accessible internet for all. The Caucus [and
undersigned DCs] would like to offer assistance to the organisers of the
main plenary sessions to do this, and would like to support all stakeholders
through providing access to relevant guidelines and experts. We see this
upcoming IGF in Egypt and future IGFs as renewed opportunity to make
Rights and Principles a core theme.</p>
