AbstractAs human lives transition online, so do human rights. The main challenge for the world and other actors is to transition all human rights to the digital sphere. This paper argues that the human rights-based approach can be helpful in focusing discussions about security on individuals rather than states. This article provides an overview of countries and companies that pose risks to human rights in the digital sphere and development of information communication technologies. It lists the most relevant international laws and standards, technical standards, business guidelines, Internet principles and policy initiatives that have been crucial in transitioning the human rights regime to the digital sphere.
