Our Common Agenda Policy Brief 5 – A Global Digital Compact: an Open, Free and Secure Digital Future for All
Lead author: Eliane El Haber
The brief proposes the development of a Global Digital Compact that would set out the principles, objectives, and actions for advancing an open, free, secure, and human-centered digital future, one that is anchored in universal human rights and that enables the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals. It outlines areas in which the need for multi-stakeholder digital cooperation is urgent and sets out how a Global Digital Compact can help to realize the commitment in the declaration on the commemoration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the United Nations (General Assembly resolution 75/1) to “shaping a shared vision on digital cooperation” by providing an inclusive global framework.
