Here are more paragraphs that are relevant to us. If you look at the
"balance", privacy could deserve much more weight.

50. We underline the need to develop effective instruments and efficient
mechanisms for the prosecution of crimes using technological means, that
are committed in one jurisdiction but have effects in another. We call
upon governments, in cooperation with other stakeholders, to continue to
develop appropriate instruments and mechanisms, including treaties and
enhanced cooperation, to allow for effective criminal investigation and
prosecution of crimes committed in cyberspace as well as against networks
and technological resources. This should address the problem of
cross-border jurisdiction, regardless of the territory from which the
crime was committed and/or the location of the technological means used,
while respecting sovereignty.
51. We resolve to deal effectively with the significant and growing
problem posed by spam. We call upon governments, in cooperation with other
stakeholders, to adopt a multi-pronged approach to counter spam. This
would entail:
a) appropriate legislation and enforcement;
b) development of technical measures;
c) establishment of multi-stakeholder partnerships;
d) awareness raising and user education of anti-spam measures;
e) development of a global and coordinated approach to the problem.
52. We reaffirm our commitment to the freedom to seek, receive, impart and
use information for the creation, accumulation and dissemination of
knowledge. We urge that measures undertaken to ensure Internet stability
and security, to fight cybercrime and to counter spam do not violate the
provisions for freedom of expression as contained in the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights and the WSIS Declaration of Principles.
