Within the context of existing freedom of expression guarantees, this book critically evaluates the goal of bridging the 'digital divide' - the gap between those who have access to the Internet and those who do not. Central to this analysis is the examination of two questions: first, is there a right to access the Internet, and if so, what does that right look like and how far does it extend? Second, if there is a right to access the Internet, is there a legal obligation on States to overcome the digital divide? Through examination of this debate's history, analysis of case law in the European Court of Human Rights and Inter-American Court of Human Rights, and a case study of one digital inclusion programme in Jalisco, Mexico, this book concludes that there is indeed currently a legal right to Internet access, but one that it is very limited in scope. The 2012 Joint Declaration on Freedom of Expression and the Internet is aspirational in nature, rather than a representative summary of current protections afforded by the international human rights legal framework. This book establishes a critical foundation from which some of these aspirations could be advanced in the future. The digital divide is not just a human rights challenge nor will it be overcome through human rights law alone. Nevertheless, human rights law could and should do more than it has thus far. 650 0 $a Human rights. 650 0 $a Digital divide. 650 0 $a Technology and law. 650 0 $a Freedom of information. 650 0 $a Information technology $x Social aspects. 650 7 $a Digital divide. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00893667 650 7 $a Freedom of information. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934017 650 7 $a Human rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963285 650 7 $a Information technology $x Social aspects. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00973131 650 7 $a Technology and law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01145264 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781351046770 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721014959.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=0989DEA40CF611EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
