[governance] Fwd: [WSIS CS-Plenary] HR caucus proposes Shirin Ebadi to speak at WSIS opening

[Robert Guerra]

I don't know how the ITU could turn down a  nobel prize winner  to  
speak. Perhaps, not high "enough" level for them?

Will be interesting how the Iranian delegation reacts, as no doubt  
they will have been alerted to the fact already. Might they not allow  
her to travel to Tunis?

As i've mentioned to the human rights caucus - there will be a need  
to develop a plan, a reaction, if the ITU for some reason DOES NOT  
accept the recommendation from CS to have Ebadi speak. It would , for  
sure, indicate the lack of appreciation of Human rights in the  
information society...


regards,

Robert
