[bestbits] News - Charter of Human Rights & Principles for the Internet in Arabic

[Marianne Franklin]

Dear all

Apologies for the cross-posting. This mail is to share with you all news 
that thanks to the Hivos IG-MENA project and their 'Click Rights' 
campaign that is being launched this week, the IRP Coalition's Charter 
of Human Rights and Principles for the Internet booklet is now in 
Arabic, the first full translation of the IRP Charter.

Please circulate and share with your networks to support the Hivos work 
in the MENA region to raise awareness and educate about existing and 
emerging rights and principles for the online environment.

The PDF in Arabic is attached, it will be on the IRP Website very soon. 
For more information and inspiration see

Please support the campaign and all those working in the MENA region to 
raise awareness of human rights online with governments, civil society, 
and business with the hashtag #IGMENA and include @ig_mena

More news v. soon from the IRP Coalition list on other translations of 
the full Charter that are in the pipeline as well as on organizations 
and individuals who are endorsing the Charter. But first let us 
celebrate the first official translation of the IRP Charter into a world 
language.

This is an exciting affirmation of the collaboration and energetic 
synergies across the IG community and related sectors that produced the 
Charter in the first place. Congratulations to all of those on all these 
lists who contributed from Day One (back in 2008/2009) and since then. 
This MENA focused campaign supports not only the IRP Charter work itself 
in its entirety but also underscores the synergies in expertise and 
inoput between the IRP Coalition, the IRP Charter and the Council of 
Europe's Guide on Human Rights for Internet Users which is moving from 
draft stage to final form; http://www.coe.int/t/informationsociety/; 
http://www.coe.int/t/dghl/standardsetting/media/MSI-DUI/default_en.asp

Attached are the English and Arabic Charter booklets, and the CoE Draft 
Guide fyi.
