Human Rights and the Internet

Edición de la obra Human rights and the Internet

"Human Rights and the Internet examines how the Internet is used to communicate, organize and campaign for human rights and enhance education, as well as considering the problems of access and misuses of the Internet such as misinformation, hate and human rights violations. It provides valuable insight for all those interested in the use of the Internet as a tool for the promotion and protection of human rights, together with a picture of how the Internet is being adopted, and how it plays an important role in the work of many human rights organizations and activists." "The book will be of interest to academics from a range of fields including studies in human rights and international relations, law, information and communications, politics and other humanities and social science-based subjects. It will also be useful to both NGO and government organizations in informing them about the complex issues raised by human rights in the 'information age'."--Jacket.
