[bestbits] Chairs statement from GCCS

[Amelia Andersdotter]

Correct me someone if I'm wrong, but the integrity and security of
people is /part/ of human rights law, not something which is protected
/in compliance/ with human rights law?

This is kind of like how the Swedish government defines the right to
privacy as the right to marry whoever you want on their human rights
website, or how the Swedish cybersecurity public authority were
protecting human rights AND privacy. I realize I'm nitpickying over
details, but we're really not advancing very much if what we're actually
seeing is a re-writing of what human rights law /is/ by organisers of
these types of events.

It will include disappointment at the non inclusion of references to necessary and proportionate principles, NetMundial principles, and the lack of reference to mass surveillance. Huge gaps, but we have also had some wins, eg inclusion of privacy by design, and quotes like this

We must remain vigilant about those who use the Internet for incitement to (imminent) violence, and for the recruitment for or financing of terrorism, and ensure that such violations are countered within the framework of the rule of law without allowing ourselves to be governed by a climate of fear. We must also take full account of the need to protect the security and integrity of people, as well as their personal information, networks and devices, in ways that are fully compliant with international law, including human rights law.”
