[Manila Principles] Manila Principles & Broadband Commission VAWG report

[gabrielle at article19.org]

Hi all 

ARTICLE 19 has been in touch with UNESCO to flag our concerns regarding the implications of the report for intermediary liability (despite the fact that the Manila Principles are cited in the report at page 26). The recommendation for government bodies to use their licensing prerogative to ensure that "only those telecoms and search engines are allowed to connect with the public that supervise content and its dissemination" is particularly problematic (see page 48): http://broadbandcommission.org/Documents/reports/bb-wg-gender-report2015.pdf 

We've also suggested to UNESCO a joint event on 'gender-based hatred'. 

Happy to discuss this further. 

Best, 

Gabrielle

Interested in thoughts from people on this list.
