RESEARCH HANDBOOK ON HUMAN RIGHTS AND DIGITAL TECHNOLOGY – VIETH

In a digitally connected world, the question of how to respect, protect and fulfil human rights has become unavoidable. Uniting research from scholars and practitioners, this contemporary Handbook offers new insights into well‑established debates surrounding digital technologies by framing them in terms of human rights. An international group of expert contributors explores the issues posed by the management of key Internet resources, the governance of its architecture, the role of different stakeholders, the legitimacy of rule‑making and rule‑enforcement, and the exercise of international public authority over users. Highly interdisciplinary, the Handbook draws on law, political science, and international relations, as well as computer science and science and technology studies, to engage with human‑rights aspects of the digitally connected world. The chapters examine in depth current topics relating to human rights and security, Internet access, surveillance, automation, trade, and freedom of expression. This comprehensive and engaging Handbook will be vital reading for researchers and students in law, human rights, international politics, international relations, and technology studies, and it will also serve as a highly useful resource for policy‑makers seeking an understanding of the state of human rights in technology.
