Carissime e carissimi desidero portare alla vostra attenzione un'iniziativa che cerca di collegare cybersecurity e diritti umani. La scorsa settimana a San Josè, Costarica il Working Group 1 'An Internet Free and Secure' della Freedom Online Coalition ha lanciato una serie di raccomandazioni per un 'human rights based approach to cybersecurity and cybersecurity policymaking'. Il Working Group e' costituito da una quindicina di esperti da diversi settori (industria, governi, societa' civile), e le raccomandazioni sono il risultato di oltre due anni di dialogo multistakeholder e negoziazioni. Trovate tutto su https://freeandsecure.online/ Abbiamo "creato" anche una diversa definizione di cybersecurity (https://freeandsecure.online/definition/) che connette esplicitamente diritti umani e cybersecurity (spesso evocati come antitetici) e che mette insieme international humanitarian law e international human rights law. Abbiamo inoltre incorporato la definizione su una base "tecnica", mentre allo stesso tempo abbiamo enfatizzando la centralità dell'utente. Stiamo raccogliendo adesioni (expressions of support), che spero arriveranno anche da questa comunità (https://freeandsecure.online/supporters/). I governi di Stati Uniti, Canada e Germania hanno giá aderito, ma stiamo raccogliendo anche adesioni individuali e ovviamente da parte di organizzazioni della società civile. Incollo qua sotto il comunicato stampa (in inglese), con tutti i link utili. Contattatemi se avete domande o suggerimenti. Grazie per l'attenzione e saluti da Amsterdam, Stefania ------------------------ 17 October 2016, San José (Costa Rica). The Working Group 1 ‘An Internet free and secure’ of the Freedom Online Coalition launched today its recommendations for a human rights based approach to cybersecurity. The thirteen recommendations are the result of a two year-long multistakeholder dialogue involving fourteen experts from governments, civil society, academia and the industry. “These recommendations”, reads the preamble, “are a first step towards ensuring that cybersecurity policies and practices are based upon and fully consistent with human rights – effectively, that cybersecurity policies and practices are rights-respecting by design. The recommendations touch upon, among others, the security of persons online and offline, responses to cyber threats, encryption and anonymity, and cybersecurity capacity building. The United States government, the government of Canada, and the Federal Foreign Office of Germany, industry representatives like Mozilla, and civil society organizations like Access Now and the Association for Progressive Communications have already endorsed the recommendations. Established in 2014, the WG1 ‘An Internet free and secure’ is a multistakelder group of experts working to raise the profile of human rights as an integral consideration in cybersecurity policy-making. It operates under a mandate from the Freedom Online Coalition (FOC), a partnership of 30 governments devoted to advance internet freedom by coordinating their diplomatic efforts and engaging with civil society and the private sector.
