Digital platforms have brought many benefits, supporting communities in times of crisis and struggle, elevating marginalized voices and helping to mobilize global movements for racial justice and gender equality. They help the 51³Ô¹Ï to engage people around the world in pursuit of peace, dignity and human rights on a healthy planet.
Yet these same digital platforms are being misused to subvert science and spread disinformation and hate to billions of people, fueling conflict, threatening democracy and human rights, and undermining public health and climate action.
This clear and present global threat demands coordinated international action to make the digital space safer and more inclusive while vigorously protecting human rights. That is why the UN is developing a voluntary Code of Conduct for information integrity on digital platforms.
We invite individuals, groups, and organizations to participate in our consultation process for the development of the Code of Conduct. Find out more about the online consultation process here.
