The Geneva Declaration of Principle does say, in para 46

    In building the Information Society, States are strongly urged to
    take steps with a view to the avoidance of, and refrain from, any
    unilateral measure not in accordance with international law and the
    Charter of the United Nations that impedes the full achievement of
    economic and social development by the population of the affected
    countries, and that hinders the well-being of their population.
