[governance] Themes for the coming IGFs

[Meryem Marzouki]

Dear Sylvia and all,

Responsibilities are, and have always been, consubstantial to rights.  
Your rights are my responsibilities, and my rights are your  
responsibilities. This is because one's rights are necessarily  
limited by others' rights.
By simply enouncing rights, as they are in the UDHR, and, more than  
two centuries ago, in the 1789 Declaration after the French  
revolution (as well as in any and all Declaration of rights),  
responsibilities are encompassed.
The suggested 'rights based approach' implies a holistic vision of  
all rights, and this ensures to consider and find a fair balance  
between rights of the individual and their limits, which derive from  
the social contract linking the community.

Themes about end-user, ISP, State Parties responsibilities, that you  
are calling for, cannot be included _in addition to_ rights: they are  
necessarily the consequences of a right based approach, as they will  
be translated in the practical context of Internet governance.

Best,
Meryem
