SubsidieMeestersThree Generations of Digital Human Rights
This research program analyzes the evolution of digital human rights and protection strategies in response to online challenges, employing multiple methodologies to assess their effectiveness and legitimacy.
Projectdetails
Introduction
The proposed research program explores different strategies developed in the digital age within and outside international human rights law to respond to new needs, interests, risks, and challenges brought about by the transition of interpersonal interactions, social activities, and regulatory schemes from offline to online environments.
Digital Human Rights
It investigates the development in recent years of three generations of digital human rights:
- Adaptation of Existing Rights: This includes the manner of application to online environments (e.g., online privacy).
- Creation of New Digital Rights: For example, the right to access the Internet.
- Introduction of New Rights and Duty Holders: This encompasses virtual persons and online platforms exercising quasi-sovereign power.
Additionally, the program looks into the development of alternative protection avenues based on private ordering, including rights by design and community standards, Internet governance, and multi-stakeholder arrangements.
Methodological Perspectives
The ERC project will examine these paradigmatic normative, institutional, and theoretical developments, as well as the policy choices behind them, from five methodological perspectives:
- Historical Study: This involves the evolution of digital human rights and the choices made by norm-entrepreneurs and lawmakers between different protection frameworks.
- Analytical Study: This focuses on protection gaps, overlaps, and conflicts across traditional and digital human rights and alternative arrangements.
- Comparative Study: This juxtaposes developments in the field of digital human rights against analogous developments in international human rights law, with a view to identifying paradigms of normative and institutional change.
- Empirical Analysis: This includes interviews to assess the perceived effectiveness and legitimacy of the said developments in the eyes of stakeholders.
- Evaluation: This examines the developments under theories of rights, global governance, business ethics, corporate responsibility, and rational choice.
