ALT Advisory assisted the Association of Progressive Communications with the development of an issue paper and an online training module targeted at national human rights institutions (NHRIs) for the Protection of Human Rights Online.
Some of the key issues being dealt with by NHRIs include complaints relating to hate speech, threats and harassment online. The issue paper and the training module dealt with the intersection of human rights and the internet, and covered topics on the applicable regional and international legal frameworks, the enjoyment of information rights online, the risks and threats posed by the internet, and the practical implications that this has for NHRIs.
