THE UNITED NATIONS THE UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS EXPLORE
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly in 1948, partly in response to the atrocities of WORLD WAR II. Although it was a non-binding solution, it is now considered to have acquired the force of INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMARY LAW, which may be invoked in appropriate circumstances by national and other judiciaries. The UDHR urges member nations, including DEVELOPING COUNTRIES such as China and Iran, to promote a number of HUMAN, CIVIL, ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL RIGHTS, asserting these rights as part of the foundation of FREEDOM, JUSTICE AND PEACE IN THE WORLD.

“The authorities periodically detain and even jail Internet users for politically sensitive comments, such as calls for a multiparty democracy or accusations of impropriety by local officials.

2. IRAN FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION EXPLORE Iranian government has monitored and censored the Internet for years at least partially out of fear of what the free spread of information could bring, going as far as expressing its desire to create a “Halal Internet” for people inside the country. “Anything straying from the official line is automatically deemed to be ‘political’ and subject to filtering or surveillance... Fashion, cuisine and music websites are often blocked just as opposition and independent news websites are” -Arash Adadpour, Blogger Journalists, social activists, political opponents and ordinary citizens are routinely arrested and tried under made up charges such as ‘undermining national security’ and ‘disturbing the public order’ after speaking out against the status quo.

Germany has some of world’s strictest privacy regulations stems partly from its historical experience during the Third Reich and communist East Germany when data collection was misused by the regimes to suppress opposition and persecute individuals. In 1983, the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany proclaimed the “right to informational self-determination” as a fundamental right. “Internet companies with headquarters in the United States continue to collect comprehensive data in Germany and Europe, in violation of local data protection laws”

OPPORTUNITY GAP PROBLEM STATEMENT The fact that the governments control access to information around the world is problematic when we consider the fact that there are less than 40 truly free countries around the world. The first and perhaps more obvious problem is censorship by repressive regimes that seek to keep any information they
IDEATE
consider to be damaging from their citizens and deny them any real transparency. But the second, more insidious facet of the problem is the global citizenry’s loss of privacy due to antiquated laws that have consistently lagged behind the technological development. This has happened across the globe including what we consider to be the “free world”. To illustrate the depth of the problem when these issues are combined we can look at countries such as Iran. Iran has mixed high-technology techniques such as Web blocking with brute-force tactics such as mass imprisonment of journalists to control the flow of information. Organizations such as UNESCO and the Carter foundation have tried to address some areas of this complex issue (mostly as it pertains to government transparency) for years. However the proposed conventions have received very limited support by nations – only 12 countries have enacted modern “freedom of information” laws so far. Moreover, there are no universal charters or articles of human rights as of yet to outline basic principles and rights when it comes to information access/protection. Studio 5 seeks the opportunity to propose Article 31, that will address rights regarding access to information as well as one’s privacy, to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in order for the document to represent the progress of humanity.

“The Chinese government has not been performing its obligation to maintain the fairness and justice of Chinese society. The power is basically in the hands of the elite, and it has been manipulated by them. The least the international society could be doing is to exert more pressure on the Chinese government to make them deliver on whatever promises they have made to their people.
