Day of the World Summit of the Information Society: May 17th, 2019



  






Day of the World Summit of the Information Society

May 17th, 2019

Taking into account the Declaration of Principles and the Action plan of the first phase of the World Summit about the Information Society (WSIS) in Geneva 2003, as well as, the commitment made in Tunisia 2005 based on the objectives and principles of the UN Charter, the declaration of Human Rights, goals and objectives of the millennium as announced in the commitment of Tunisia (2) based on the Geneva principles.
Likewise, in the principle 121 of Geneva, the United Nations, asked the AGNU to declare May 17th as the World Day of the Information Society and that it should be celebrated annually. We citizens know it as the "Internet Day".
Therefore:

Order 1

As a citizen, I invoke the GOVERNMENTS, on this special date, to respect our freedom of expression and the free flow of information, that our ideas and our knowledge be taken into account for human development as indicated in the declaration of principles of Geneva (4,5,55), where they reaffirm it in the commitment of Tunisia where it says:

4.- We reaffirm, as an essential foundation of the Information Society, and as stipulated in Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, that every individual has the right to freedom of opinion and expression, that this right includes not to be disturbed because of their opinions, to investigate and receive information and opinions, and to disseminate them, without limitation of borders, by any means of expression. Communication is a fundamental social process, a basic human need and the foundation of all social organization. It is the central axis of the Information Society. All people, everywhere, should have the opportunity to participate, and no one should be excluded from the benefits offered by the Information Society.

5.-We reaffirm our commitment to the provisions of Article 29 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, namely, that every person has duties with respect to the community, since only in it can freely and fully develop their personality, and that, in the exercise of their rights and in the enjoyment of their freedoms, every person shall be subject only to the limitations established by law for the sole purpose of ensuring the recognition and respect of the rights and freedoms of others, and to satisfy the just demands of morality, public order and general welfare in a democratic society. These rights and freedoms can not under any circumstances be exercised in opposition to the purposes and principles of the United Nations. In this way, we will promote an Information Society in which human dignity is respected.

55 We recognize that through the existing mechanisms for Internet governance, the Internet has become a solid commodity, dynamic and with a further reach geographically. It has become an asset in which the private sector has focused its daily activities and in which periphery is innovated and value is created.

Order 2

 The governments that work in the public administration, do it in the best way (Efficiency) to achieve the objectives (Effectiveness) that is to say a BETTER SERVICE TO THE CITIZEN and greater transparency with the help of the icts. We do not want a bureaucratic administration characterized by secrecy and distancing from citizens, because that generates mistrust, discomfort, as a consequence it leads to Protests.

Concluding:

The Political Organization and the Power together with the multiple stakeholders ((Multistakeholder), have seen fit to create a Dynamic Coalition called: Citizen Participation and Internet Governance "with the aim of collaborating respecting the principles carried out in Geneva and Tunisia as well as, the projects that are being carried out in the IGF.

That the Dynamic Coalition: Citizen Participation and Internet Governance, with the participation of social actors in strategic alliances, will develop proposals in the knowledge laboratory, based on the Citizen Participation Forum, applying three Ps: Proposal, Participate and No protests.

For that reason, the dynamic Coalition will play the role of Nexus, an ally between local governments and citizens in public Internet governance policies through the Action Plans under the Internet Governance principles discussed in Geneva 2003-Tunisia 2005.
Lastly, just as citizens demand rights, we must also fulfill our duties.
