<br>
I'm excited to write my first email to the KeepItOn list -- and it's<br>
good news! The U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva is considering a<br>
renewal of the so-called "internet resolution," a measure that Sweden<br>
and other members of the internet "core group" of states (Brazil,<br>
Tunisia, Nigeria, Turkey, the US) authored first in 2012, and again in<br>
2014. The resolution affirms that human rights apply online as they do<br>
offline.<br>
<br>
This year, the draft contains new, strong language on internet shutdowns<br>
-- or as they call them, intentional disruptions -- and calls out<br>
attacks against those exercising their rights online. It's a good step<br>
forward for #KeepItOn, and we want the Council to pass it by consensus.<br>
<br>
To help the resolution forward, we ask that you reach out to your<br>
foreign ministries, to ensure they co-sponsor the resolution. Article 19<br>
has a good post on co-sponsoring<br>
(<a href="https://www.article19.org/resources.php/resource/38422/en/unhrc:-strong-resolution-must-be-adopted-on-human-rights-on-the-internet" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.article19.org/resources.php/resource/38422/en/unhrc:-strong-resolution-must-be-adopted-on-human-rights-on-the-internet</a>),<br>
and the latest draft of the text is attached.<br>
<br>
We expect adoption to happen next Thursday, June 30. If that happens,<br>
please be ready to spread the word that the Human Rights Council<br>
*condemns* internet shutdowns.<br>
<br>
I'm happy to tell folks more, either on this list or privately. Here's<br>
