Policy and Technical Solutions for Online Cross-Border Legal Problems in AsiaAPNIC
This document discusses policy and technical solutions for online cross-border legal problems in Asia. It notes increasing data transactions and cases that cross international borders. Areas of law like criminal, civil, copyright and intellectual property are impacted. Past cases show courts asserting jurisdiction over foreign entities. Possible solutions discussed include takedown requests, trade laws regarding IoT devices, and cross-border arbitrations. Challenges include evolving technologies, differing privacy philosophies between regions, and Asia lacking legal harmonization compared to Europe. Initiatives in Asia to address these issues are noted.
Snezana Trpevska - Content Regulation and Censorship – What is the Difference?Metamorphosis
This document discusses the differences between content regulation and censorship for various media like television, radio, print, and the internet. It explains that television and radio are traditionally subject to the strongest content regulation through broadcast laws, while print media is regulated more through laws around libel and copyright. Internet content faces the smallest direct regulation. The document also explores approaches to regulating internet content, challenges involved due to the internet's nature, and categories of content countries attempt to restrict, like hate speech, pornography, or piracy.
Ukraine has one of the lowest levels of internet penetration in Europe at 25%. The .ua domain needs to be redelegated as the organization listed with IANA no longer exists and a private company now administers it. State authorities sometimes seize servers without court orders, mixing up addresses, under the guise of fighting cybercrime. Proposed legislation to fight child pornography called the "404 Law" was criticized for being technically illiterate and enabling excessive government control over internet users and ISPs. While amended, it still poses risks by requiring ISPs to store user connection data without defined procedures.
Presentation by Federica Casarosa at the 2019 CMPF Summer School for Journalists and Media Practitioners - Covering Political Campaigns in the Age of Data, Algorithms & Artificial Intelligence
This document summarizes international laws and policies regarding privacy and mass surveillance in the post-Snowden era. It discusses obligations under international human rights law, calls by the UN General Assembly to review surveillance practices, and reports by the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights criticizing secret interpretations of law and lack of protections for individuals. The document also reviews data privacy regulations in Europe, debates around data localization, encryption technologies, and concludes that strengthening international law and information security is needed to curb mass surveillance by powerful states.
This document discusses the relationship between international law and municipal (domestic) law. There are two main theories - monism sees them as part of one legal system, dualism sees them as separate. Generally international law prevails in international forums. Treaties are binding even if domestic laws conflict. Domestically, conflicts can be reviewed by courts. The Philippines constitution incorporates international law, but restrictively to generally accepted principles. Jus cogens norms like prohibitions on aggression always prevail over domestic law, while other international laws can be opted out of.

This document discusses issues around encryption regulation. It notes developments in end-to-end encryption and storage encryption. It discusses views from FBI Director James Comey and UK Prime Minister David Cameron calling for access to encrypted communications. It reviews national policies on encryption in the US, India, China and Russia. The Council of Europe and UN Special Rapporteur support strong encryption for privacy and security. Key issues are comparing political economies today versus the 1990s which led to encryption liberalization, and determining appropriate forums for decision making given interests of industry, civil society, states and others.
The document discusses border security technologies used in Europe, including the Schengen Information System (SIS) and Spain's SIVE border surveillance system. The SIS is a database containing information on persons banned from entering Europe or wanted for criminal offenses that is used at airports and for visa issuance. Spain uses the SIVE system of radar stations, control centers, and interceptor units to monitor its maritime borders and detect migrant vessels. The development of these technologies has made borders invisible and shifted surveillance to data collection and information sharing between countries.
This document provides an overview of internet governance and policy best practices. It covers:
- Definitions of internet governance and the issues it encompasses such as infrastructure, standards, legal matters and access.
- A brief history of internet governance including the establishment of key organizations like ICANN, IETF and involvement of the UN.
- An introduction to content control including the types of content commonly restricted, technical and legal methods of control, and a global overview of censorship.
- Issues regarding regulation of content by private companies as well as challenges in the quasi-public sphere.
- Examples of content restriction cases and efforts to protect free expression on private platforms like the Global Network Initiative.
I'm sorry to hear you're going through this difficult situation. Here are a few suggestions:
- Screenshot or save evidence of the photos and where they're being shared without your consent. This can help if you decide to report it.
- Consider filing a police report for revenge porn or non-consensual pornography. Laws are getting stronger on this issue. The police may be able to get the photos removed or take other legal action against your ex.
- Contact websites directly where the photos are posted to report them and request takedown. Many sites have policies against non-consensual sharing of private images.
- Seek support from loved ones and consider talking to a counselor. What happened
Approaches to and Challenges of Legal Redress for Victims of Corporate Human ...Robert Grabosch
Presentation held at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, conference "The challenges of globalisation for constitutional and corporate governance"
14-16 October 2010
This document summarizes legislation on cyber security in the European Union, Eastern Partnership countries, and the United States. It discusses two definitions of cyber attacks, as means for usual crimes or computer-specific crimes. The aims of cyber attacks are described as accessing military/commercial secrets, stealing data, interrupting information flow, or propaganda/terrorism. Legal challenges include uncertainty over attackers and unpredictability. Legislation at the UN, US, EU, Council of Europe, CIS, and in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine is summarized. The document concludes that more specific legislation is needed while protecting freedom of speech and that international collaboration is important.
This document discusses balancing freedom of expression with censorship and restrictions on online content. It provides examples of controversial content from countries like Iran, Tunisia, Pakistan, and India. The Special Rapporteur's report outlines a three-part test for restrictions on online content: it must be provided by law, pursue a legitimate aim under Article 19 of the ICCPR such as protecting rights or security, and be necessary and proportional. Maintaining this balance is challenging and different regions prioritize rights like intellectual property versus privacy and censorship differently.
Journalism in jordan: Developments in press freedom since the Arab SpringMatt J. Duffy
Research shows four major incidents in Jordan that led to worse press freedom rankings. They are criminal defamation charges, unfair protection of public figures, licensing of journalists and vague terrorism laws.
Ricardo Baretzky is the president of the European Centre for Information Policy and Security (ECIPS) and CyberPOL organization. He is considered an expert in cyber security, humanitarian law, and combating terrorism. Baretzky propagated the approval of ECIPS and CyberPOL by international decree. He warns that cyber vulnerabilities will cause critical infrastructure around the world to halt as cyber crime and corruption increase. Baretzky has spoken before numerous government bodies on issues of cyber security, crime, and policy reform.
A few weeks ago, organizations in more than 150 countries were victims of an unprecedented cyberattack which used the ransomware Wanna cry, disrupting thousands of businesses and public institutions around the world.
1) The document discusses the history and development of human rights protections over the past 50 years. It describes how the author helped establish civil liberties groups in the UK Parliament in the 1960s to address issues like the death penalty, racial discrimination, and police misconduct.
2) After losing his seat in Parliament in 1970, the author inherited a peerage title in 1971 and returned to actively work on international human rights as an emissary for Amnesty International, visiting countries like Sri Lanka, Argentina, and South Africa to investigate human rights issues.
3) The author discusses the various international and regional mechanisms that now exist to monitor and enforce human rights standards, including UN bodies, the European Court of Human Rights, and
Combating transnational organized crime through better international cooperationDr Lendy Spires
The document discusses ways to improve international cooperation to combat transnational organized crime. It notes that criminal activities have become global in scope so investigations can no longer stop at national borders. A few key United Nations conventions, like the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime, have helped harmonize standards for international cooperation by establishing rules and shared obligations. However, more concerted efforts are still needed, like strengthening extradition practices and mutual legal assistance. The document also examines how regional agreements in places like Europe and the Caribbean have further enhanced cooperation and the important role of central authorities in expediting cooperation requests.

Towela_Trans boundary issues in cybersecurityAFRINIC
This document discusses cybersecurity issues in Africa and outlines the African Union's Convention on Cybersecurity and Personal Data Protection. It notes increasing internet usage but low consumer awareness of cybersecurity risks. While the internet enables human rights like freedom of expression, activities like mass surveillance and cybercrime threaten privacy and security. The AU Convention aims to create a secure digital environment by harmonizing legislation, protecting personal data, promoting cybersecurity, and combating cybercrime. Implementation will require awareness campaigns, capacity building, enabling frameworks through legislation and response centers to ensure international cybersecurity norms are applied across Africa.
This document discusses Council of Europe standards regarding freedom of expression on the Internet. It outlines that freedom of expression is a fundamental human right, especially in democratic societies, and this right applies to online communications through the Internet. Any restrictions on Internet access or online content must be prescribed by law, pursue a legitimate aim, and be proportionate. Blocking, filtering, and disconnection of individuals can restrict this right. States should guarantee editorial independence and protect journalists' sources online. Two key questions around new technologies are whether they are necessary and proportionate interferences with freedom of expression or could be applied in a disproportionate manner breaching users' rights.
This presentation by the Geneva Academy was made at the expert learning session on conflict-affected and high-risk areas during the 7th Multi-Stakeholder Forum on Responsible Mineral Supply Chains held on 26-28 May 2014 in Paris.

Despite Arab uprisings, press freedom still elusiveMatt J. Duffy
Despite some improvements in press freedom after the Arab uprisings, restrictions remain or have increased in many countries. A few countries like Libya, Tunisia, and Lebanon are ranked as "partly free" by Freedom House, while most Arab nations are still considered "not free". Governments continue to use laws against defamation, insulting officials, spreading false news, and disturbing public order to censor journalists and promote self-censorship. While some new media have emerged since 2011, legal reforms are still needed across the region to strengthen protections for freedom of the press.

The global protection of intellectual property: in whose interests?blogzilla
The document discusses concerns about the current state of global intellectual property (IP) governance and its impact on access to knowledge and technology. It outlines how IP law has heavily favored right holders in recent decades. However, the Doha declaration and WIPO Development Agenda are seen as steps towards rebalancing IP law to also support public access, particularly for developing countries. The document advocates encouraging these processes to integrate development policy considerations into IP law and WIPO's activities.
This document discusses privacy and emerging technologies. It begins by defining privacy and surveillance. It then discusses trends identified in the Kleiner Perkins Internet Trends Report regarding increasing data collection and security concerns. Various emerging technologies are presented that influence privacy, such as drones, social media, the Internet of Things, and medical technologies like health tracking. Ethical issues around sensitive data from these technologies are raised. Current domestic laws around photography and recording are outlined. International frameworks around communications surveillance and human rights are also mentioned. Treaties and their role in regulating areas like this are briefly explained.
1. The document discusses issues around internet governance and filtering, noting that while the internet is a critical global resource, there are currently no enforceable international laws governing access.
2. It outlines some principles of internet governance inspired by international law, and examines how different countries justify internet filtering to uphold community standards or ensure national security.
3. The document concludes that while states have independent control over internet access within their borders, there are no meaningful external legal checks and the UN currently takes no stance on internet governance internationally.
International law governs relations between nations and addresses issues like territorial disputes, laws of war, and human rights. It primarily concerns relations between states rather than private citizens. States are only bound by international law if they consent to and agree to abide by it. International law includes public international law, private international law, and supranational law. The main sources of international law are treaties, customary practices, and general principles recognized by nations. Secondary sources include decisions of international courts and scholarly writings.
The document discusses balancing the free flow of information, freedom of expression, and privacy in trade agreements like the Trans-Pacific Partnership. While facilitating communication and trade has benefits, these agreements could impact human rights by deciding complex issues around these topics in closed trade negotiations instead of through open democratic processes. Countries should be able to set their own privacy laws and not have them challenged as trade barriers in trade agreements.
The document discusses international legal instruments relating to forced displacement. It provides summaries of key conventions and principles, including the 1951 Refugee Convention which established the definition of a refugee and principles of non-discrimination, non-penalization, and non-refoulement. Regional instruments in Africa and the Americas have expanded the refugee definition in response to specific displacement crises. The document also discusses other international treaties and guidelines concerning internally displaced persons, asylum procedures, and the rights of refugees.
Media Regulation Booklet (OCR Media Conference 2009)rikhudson
The document discusses media regulation in the UK and Europe. It outlines key principles from the European Convention on Human Rights regarding privacy (Article 8) versus freedom of expression (Article 10), and how UK law must balance these. It also describes the voluntary Press Complaints Commission code for journalists and defines what constitutes public interest. Sample questions are provided from law exams for trainee journalists regarding defamation, privacy and legal issues around publishing photos. Finally, it discusses regulation of the internet, outlining recommendations from the Byron Review on keeping children safe online.

This document provides an introduction to international law. It discusses the traditional definition of international law as governing relations between states, but notes that definition is outdated as international law now also governs relations involving individuals, organizations, corporations, and matters like human rights, the environment, and use of force. It identifies five subjects of international law that have legal personality: states, individuals, international organizations, transnational corporations, and some special entities. The document also discusses the development of international law and its sources.
The document discusses several topics related to the United Nations:
The International Court of Justice settles disputes between states and gives advisory opinions. Its 15 judges are elected by the UN General Assembly and Security Council. The ICJ helped resolve a territorial dispute between Malaysia and Singapore over Pedra Branca.
The UN protects children's rights through instruments like the Convention on the Rights of the Child and two Optional Protocols addressing child soldiers and sale of children.
The environment faces threats like pollution, deforestation, and climate change. Sustainable development and practices like sustainable forestry can protect the environment while enabling resource use.
The UN played roles in the Korean War by providing military aid to South Korea, and
Privacy and Data Protection in South Africablogzilla
South Africa has strong constitutional protections for privacy and personal data. The Protection of Personal Information Act (POPI) provides extensive privacy rights and obligations similar to the EU GDPR, though it has not yet fully come into force. Sectoral laws also regulate privacy in areas like electronic communications, financial services, health, and children. Recent developments include the appointment of an Information Regulator in 2016 to oversee POPI compliance and the publication of draft POPI regulations in 2017 and 2018. Once POPI is fully enacted, it will repeal the interim Electronic Communications and Transactions Act and require businesses to comply within 12 months.
This document provides an overview of child pornography, including its definition, relevant laws, and recent court cases. It defines child pornography as any media depicting someone under 18 engaged in explicit sexual activity. Several Indian laws like the IT Act, POCSO Act, and IPC criminalize child pornography. Recent court guidelines require exclusive courts to handle high volumes of POCSO cases. While laws aim to protect children, greater awareness of legal remedies is still needed given the alarming increase in reported child abuse incidents.
Promoting un convention to protect rights of migrantsM S Siddiqui
Bangladesh and other countries should promote ICMW in ME countries to protect the rights of immigrants. It can sign mutual agreement with host countries to protect human rights of migrants and also more vigilance through Embassies in ME and other agencies to protect the citizens working in other countries.
This document discusses international law and the role of the United Nations in developing international law through treaties. It provides details on:
- How the UN has helped establish over 500 multilateral treaties covering issues like human rights, trade, the environment and more.
- Examples of landmark treaties and cases, including the Genocide Convention used in the first international genocide conviction.
- How the UN works to negotiate treaties, establish legal standards, and help states implement international law.
This document provides an overview of international criminal law. It discusses the sources of international criminal law, including treaties, customary international law, general principles of law, and judicial decisions. It then examines some key concepts in international criminal law, such as crimes against humanity, war crimes, and genocide. The document notes that international criminal law places responsibility on individuals, rather than states. It also discusses the Rome Statute and the International Criminal Court.
Crowdsource Your Life encourages sharing ideas and joining tech conferences to build connections. It provides examples of individuals who attended events like BarCamps and found career opportunities, like presenting at other conferences. Connecting "in real life" at these events led to networking that expanded opportunities for scholarships, jobs, and projects. The document advocates sharing what you know without fear, and being open to new ideas from others, while also maintaining a work-life balance with your growing network.
Open Cambodia 2014 is a 4-day training event that aims to teach staff of Cambodian civil society organizations how information and communication technologies can help improve their efficiency in information collection, management, and distribution. The training will provide an understanding of tools for e-advocacy, data visualization, and basic data security. Participants will learn how to incorporate these technologies into advocacy strategies and campaigns while balancing security with functionality. The agenda will be customized based on participant needs and will include sessions on mobile data collection, cloud data storage, and secure communication policies. The goal is for CSOs to enhance their impact through more effective use of information technologies.
This document promotes attending BarCamps and other tech conferences to build community and further one's career. It provides examples of individuals who attended such events and saw positive outcomes, such as networking opportunities, new jobs, scholarships, and increased expertise. The document emphasizes that participating in person ("IRL") at these events allows one to make valuable connections, present one's ideas, and find others with similar interests. It encourages readers not to be afraid to get involved in these communities and share what they're passionate about.
The document discusses the author's reasons for starting a webcomic in 2011 where they drew a comic every day for a year. Some of the key reasons included wanting to share their experiences living in Cambodia with both Khmer and foreign friends, drawing comics fast to match the speed of life, and for fun despite likely losing money. The document provides tips for doing webcomics including sticking to a schedule, using professional art tools to save time, and that friends and community can provide support. It also recommends tools for creating webcomics and what the author learned from the experience.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
