The Councill of Europe has already expressed the view that AI´s implications for the enjoyment of human rights require the development of new instruments. As self-regulation and voluntary standards are not enough. I think that the new instrument should focus on the right to privacy and establish due diligence mechanism to assess the impact of new technologies on human rights

Indeed, the UDHR can be consider international customary law. And should also be consider in connection with the principles and objectives established in the UN Charter (a legally biding treaty). Article 1.3 of the Charter established among the purposes of the Organization “to achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion”

Mexico presented a resolution in the General Assembly on protecting children from bullying and indcluded elements on the prtection of human rights in the digital domein. The most resent is resolution 75/166. This part is relevant to our topic:

Deeply concerned that increased unsupervised use of the Internet, inter alia during the COVID-19 pandemic, has exacerbated children’s exposure to the risk of all forms of violence, including in digital contexts, inter alia peer-to-peer sexual harassment and cyberbullying, child sexual exploitation and abuse, child grooming, trafficking in persons, hate speech, stigmatization, racism, xenophobia and discrimination",

Very good movie. And it shows that kind of addiction for social media promote by the companies

Nice to meet you Katharina
