E-crimes against humanity are certainly a matter that this caucus should
constantly remind everyone about. Because, as is the case for the planet
or economy, this crime is also common and consensual "by
default", i.e. by our (all of the stakeholders) own lack of
understanding of the architectonic stakes and of our common and mutual
(dis)interests – mainly because these things are new, complex, and rooted
in digital architecture/technologies.<br><br>
IANAL, but I have gathered from many contributors that a crime, in order
to exist, must be a violation of a law. What Asama introduced still
looks – for now – like ethically unacceptable but only
indirect legal violations. As Suresh underlines it, our positions should
be "nuanced" as long as a normal legal process has not been
codified. This would be to first establish a digital human rights
declaration: (a) to be equal in digital existance, (b) to have the right
to own digital properties, (c) to be free in using thinking facilitation,
(d) to have the right to freely speak, not listen, (e) to have the right
to associate, (f) the right to freely contribute to the development of
cyberspace, (g) the right to the protection of our future by national
precaution, etc. This is the 33rd article of the HR that we have all
requested for more than two decades. <br><br>
Toward this, international codes are starting to be discussed. I suppose
that (apart from the copyrights) the most worked out that we could dig
into is the Tallinn Manual on cyberwar, which implies cyberwar crimes, by
NATO –
<a href="http://www.ccdcoe.org/249.html">
http://www.ccdcoe.org/249.html</a>. However, so far I have never been in
a position to access these documents online. Could someone help us on
it?<br><br>
We are in new technology and thinking areas (architectonics is about
creating a 5<sup>th</sup> [artificial] environment in addition to the 4
natural ones [earth, sea, air, and space]). Therefore, we do not have any
real experience about the organization of architectonical
responsibilities. If I am right, since we replaced kings’ law with
democratic law (in Greece) we have sticked to a four main stakeholders
society: <br><br>
1. we the people <br>
+ and three "archons" who are in charge of:<br>
2. politics and economic issues (Eponymous),<br>
3. justice and religions (Basileus) internal peace and force<br>
4. military and foreign affairs (Polemarch) external peace and force up
to the violence of war (Hobbes).<br><br>
Question: which archon's area is the area of the crimes that Asama
discusses? Or is it a new area? Our strategy, if to succeed whatever the
target we may chose, will depend on the answer.<br><br>
1. if it is an area we know, we will have to focus on the corresponding
"archon", as it is today, i.e. (1) governments, (2) national
laws and parliaments, or (3) international organizations. <br>
2. if it is, as I think, a new area (the Architarch area), our strategy
will be quite different because we first have to initiate an
architectonic debate, just as we did for the governance.<br><br>
If we want to be efficient and bring something to Bali or to other fora,
I suggest that we might start considering the different crimes that Asama
quotes, making the charges more precise as per Suresh points, and add
mine about the technical wandering and the resulting delays and errors we
make. The “metric” of this non-precautionary attitude could be the French
constitutional duty of precaution (and in other countries that may have
an equivalent [even, if like in France it is not fully understood yet
irt. The cyberspace]). From there on, we might ask ourselves if these
crimes should be dealt with at the national, political, or international
level.<br><br>
This could be put in parallel for comparison with the “war on terror”, as
a poor unsecure Internet technology can help other attacks against
people.<br>
I agree with Michael Gurestein that in most cases: <br><br>
<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">q'aires are simply easy ways of
checking off/managing the need for broad (public) input without any real
likelihood that the result will be anything much more (in the best
instance) than a highly selected set of quotations presented as
"evidence" in a final report whose conclusions/recommendations
are determined elsewhere.</blockquote><br>
However, when published by non-debate-dominants, q'aires still can be
used to raise a question, and start a debate, like Asama proposes
it.<br><br>
I do not know if that fits in the preparation of the Bali meeting, but it
is an ethical concern, and it intersects the debate on architectonic
sovereignty that we must have and that many and I have started calling
for and are pursuing in each participant’s own diverse ways. <br><br>

Subject: [governance] CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY AND THE INTERNET<br>
Date: Mon, Aug 12, 2013 6:30 PM<br><br>
<br>
CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY AND THE INTERNET<br><br>
The notion of crime against humanity is more or less<br>
associated with the shed of human blood, but when I deeply evaluated
the<br>
consequences that Internet blockages can provoke, I was convinced it’s
time to<br>
redefine the notion of CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.<br><br>
The Internet is not just a tool to send and receive mails.<br>
It transcends all the social sectors from; Health, Banking,
Import/Export,<br>
Education, Judiciary, defense etc. So<br>
any one government, individual or group of individuals that chooses to
block<br>
the Internet from its citizens will be causing an irreparable damage to
his own<br>
people.<br><br>
Blocking the Internet in this age means stopping<br>
citizens from doing business, from communicating, from getting good
education<br>
and health services, from traveling, from defending their basic rights
etc.<br>
I want to believe that blocking<br>
the Internet should be considered as crime against humanity.<br>

Why are we submitting a reply as a group?<br><br>
Norbert said just a few hours ago that we should not. I quote his
mail:<br><br>
"I think that it is the variety of responses that is<br>
going to make this questionnaire exercise valuable; what would be
the<br>
benefit of civil society trying to agree on a single set of
answers?"<br><br>
I think I agree with him on this one.<br><br>
