Promoting digital inclusion is of concern to the FOC as it is directly linked to its mandate of protecting and promoting both the exercise of human rights online and supporting an open and interoperable Internet, as affirmed in the FOC’s Tallinn Agenda. The Internet and ICTs provide a unique platform to enable individuals to exercise their human rights more fully. Only with meaningful access to the Internet will all individuals be able to reap the economic, social and educational benefits of ICTs and fully exercise their human rights online.
