Rights in the digital age
Challenges and ways forward
As our online and offline lives become increasingly interwoven, policy makers have
to consider how to protect individual interests and rights. This paper considers the
impact of digital transformation on internationally recognised human rights, legal
and constitutional rights, and domestically protected interests. It sets out three
case studies, freedom of expression, privacy and Internet access, and provides a brief
overview of current international and domestic initiatives to protect "rights in the
digital age". The paper sets the scene for further discussion on the issue and supports
policy makers in designing and achieving a rights-oriented and human-centric digital
transformation.
