ACCESS TO THE INTERNET: IS IT TRULY A RIGHT FOR EVERYONE?

 

 


Hi everyone! Welcome back to our blog.  How are you? I’m fine, I can’t complain. Today we're going to talk about the Internet.

Nowadays everybody uses it and it has become part of our lives, especially in this difficult period for us students (but also for the teachers, of course!).

The access to Internet is a human right. Therefore we urge all states to ensure free access to the network: it’s necessary to obtain the freedom of expression and opinion. One important tool , especially in countries where the media are not independent, as demonstrated by the riots breaking out there, Internet access is part of human rights; moreover, the  internet has become an indispensable means for the achievement of a whole range of human rights.  It helps fight inequity and accelerate the development and progress of each state.
