Speeches and presentations

The World e-Parliament Conference 2008 took place at the European Parliament in Brussels on 25 and 26 November 2008. The World e-Parliament Conference 2008 represented a unique opportunity for leaders and members of parliaments, parliamentary officials and experts to exchange views at a global level on new technologies and innovation as tools to strengthen the representative, legislative and oversight functions of regional and national assemblies.

Drawing on extensive experience and community feedback, Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 improves upon W3Cs groundbreaking initial standard for accessible Web content, applies to more advanced technologies, and is more precisely testable.

Chief Judge Stein Schjolberg offers a cybercrime model law that includes terrorist use of the Internet and identity theft/infringements. According to Judge Schjolberg, this model law can serve as a global guideline for cybercrime legislation at the national levels.

At the 8th Congress on the Prevention of Crime and the treatment of Offenders (held in Havana, Cuba, 27 August - 7 September 1990), the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution dealing with computer crime legislation. Based on its Resolution 45/121 (1990) (http://www.un.org/documents/ga/res/45/a45r121.htm), the Untied Nations published the Manual in 1994 on the prevention and control of computer-related crime.

The Guide for Developing Countries aims to help developing countries better understand the national and international implications of growing cyber-threats, assess the requirements of existing national regional and international instruments, and assist countries in establishing a sound legal foundation. The Guide provides a comprehensive overview of the most relevant topics linked to the legal aspects of cybercrime. In its approach, the Guide focuses on the demands of developing countries.

The ITU Toolkit for Cybercrime Legislation aims to provide countries with sample legislative language and reference material that can assist in the establishment of harmonized cybercrime laws and procedural rules. The Toolkit is a practical instrument that countries can use for the elaboration of a cybersecurity legal framework and related laws. The Sample Language provided in the Toolkit, while not a model law, was developed after a comprehensive analysis of the most relevant regional and international legal frameworks currently present.

This publication presents guidelines for:

• Establishing a National ICT Policy and Law
• Interconnection
• Licensing
• Numbering
• Radio Spectrum Management
• Universal Access and Universal Service

The Guidelines are intended for use in formulating legislation (i.e., Acts, Laws or Decrees) for implementing telecommunication sector reform. Regulations and rules (also called subsidiary or subordinate legislation, depending on the legal system of a country) refine policies and other matters embodied in the principal legislation. Therefore, meaningful proposals on regulations can only be made after decisions have been taken on the content of the relevant principal legislation.

The Dynamic Coalition on Open Standards Statement in support of interoperability and open standards was issued in 2008 on the occasion of the third Internet Governance Forum that took place in Hyderabad, India. Its objective is to promote interoperability and accessibility through the use of open standards.
