A possible HR certification --- One possible measure to improve the interaction between digitization and human rights can be the launch of a “Human Rights certification program.” Service providers who would like to increase trust among their consumers could opt for getting certified by Human Rights organizations that have developed expertise in addressing challenges related to digitization. The proposal entails that a set of standards must be developed. When can we say that a services provider is meeting Human Rights obligations? The reflection process can start with that process. Discussions are needed on how to certify that company is enhancing Human Rights. There are no easy way to balance Human Rights protection and security. However, human rights must be prioritized, given that they are the cornerstone of international and domestic policies. Therefore, the international community must ensure that all services related to the digitization of societies protect peoples’ rights.
