[governance] A New Dynamic Coalition on Platform Responsibility within the IGF

[Luca Belli]

Dear all, 

FYI:

A New Dynamic Coalition on Platform Responsibility within the IGF
Two weeks ago, the Secretariat of the United Nations’ Internet Governance Forum (IGF) approved the creation of the Dynamic Coalition on Platform Responsibility
 (DC PR). This new component of the IGF will provide a discussion arena 
aimed at the analysis of the relations between internationally 
recognised Human Rights and online platforms’ Terms of Service (ToS).


The
 ultimate goal of the DC PR will be to elaborate concrete solutions 
aimed at promoting responsibility in the adoption of ToS so as to ensure
 respect for platform users’ human rights. The proposed solutions, to be
 developed through an open and multi-stakeholder process, will 
complement initiatives such as the Council of Europe Guide to Human Rights for Internet Users, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, the UN Global Compact, the ISO 26000 Social Responsibility Standards, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the European Union’s Sector Guidance to the implementation of those principles.


Specifically,
 the DC PR will aim at developing guidance for responsible conduct by 
online platforms through the formulation of model contract clauses able 
to protect the interests of both commercial and non-commercial internet 
users, in accordance with the existing framework of international law, 
including human rights law.
