Niels ten Oever: Human Rights Are Not a Bug

A report on Internet Governance published by the Ford Foundation.

In working with 3 Bridges, Inc. and the Ford Foundation, we designed the publication “Human Rights Are Not a Bug. Upgrading Governance for an Equitable Internet,” which was authored by Niels ten Over. This important publication discusses the need to develop and govern an internet infrastructure that establishes safeguards against harm and inequity by adopting human rights assessments modeled on the UN’s Guiding Principles.
