Can you share with us the arguments why the national level was
intentionally left out of the international mechanism? Pls. I would
like to see emphasis also to the national and regional level. EC
should be done at the national, regional, and international level.
Not all Treaties conventions are good, and our countries should not
sign or follow those recommendation if its affects their own
citizens at the national or regional level. For example, it is
dangerous to see the Budapest Convention exported to other
countries, as it has serious implications for citizen's fundamental
rights. Despite the serious concerns that the Budapest Convention /
Council of Europe itself contain, the harm to third countries
outside Europe, for instance, Latin America is dangerous. While the
EU for instance has the Ecommerce Directive, The Data Protection
Directive, the E-Privacy Directive, Charter of Fundamental Rights,
and other check and balance in place etc, many countries lack of
these regulatory frameworks.<br>
<br>
I know, it can be worst with the ITU (and the end of anonymity).
