Sixty years after the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), the world finds itself in a very different place, where almost anyone, anywhere, has the potential to access an endless source of information and communicate directly with the rest of the world. Information and communications technology (ICT) has been one of the most powerful drivers of change in our global society and has greatly shaped how we protect and advance human rights today.
We hope this series helps companies and organizations better understand the potential role of technology in protecting and advancing human rights. The lessons from these articles can be a starting point for developing more robust practices to promote human rights.
