Jørgensen, the contributors examine the links between information technology
and human rights. Scholars, human rights activists, and practitioners debate
issues such as freedom of expression, access to information, privacy,
discrimination, gender equality, intellectual property, political
participation, and freedom of assembly in the context of information and
communication technology, exploring the ways in which the information society
can either advance human rights around the world or threaten them. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
