Drepturile omului și noile tehnologii ale informației și comunicării
Human rights and the new technologies of information and communication

Summary/Abstract: The new technologies of information and communication, undergoing an explosive development, are also a challenge to the present system of human rights. The main issue lies in taking good advantage of their huge potential, while respecting common principles, values and norms, as well as preventing the possible perverse and destabilizing effects of a chaotic use. Nothing does better illustrate the difficulties encountered than the Internet Governance issues. The author reminds numerous positions adopted in the field, particularly during the last ten years, which express the preoccupation of specialists and the international organizations for this important issue, emphasizing on the most recent ones, including the World Summit on the Information Society (2003, 2005). Still far from an efficient global solution, the Internet Governance makes clear that there is need to harmonize the new technologies with sustainable development and human rights, in close connection with the Objectives of the Millennium adopted by the United Nations and endorsed by the Member States, Romania included.
