[WP2] Mission, Commitments and Core Values REVISED for discussion tomorrow am

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

In his comment 100 Willie Currie raised the issue of enshrining freedom
of expression in the in the core values.

In comment 123 NCSG worte: "We support the addition of respect for Human
rights to the core values and support the addition of an obligation for
human rights impact analyses for ICANN decisions to the mission. NCSG
has consistently recommended that ICANN adopt the “Respect, Protect, and
Remedy” framework which was developed for private corporations"  this is
the framework documented by the UN called *in Guiding Principles on
Business and Human Rights *<
*http://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Publications/GuidingPrinciplesBusinessHR_EN.pdf>*

*

These Guiding Principles are grounded in recognition of:

(a) States’ existing obligations to respect, protect and fulfil*l* human
rights and

fundamental freedoms;

(b) The role of business enterprises as specialized organs of society
performing

specialized functions, required to comply with all applicable laws and to

respect human rights;

(c) The need for rights and obligations to be matched to appropriate and

effective remedies when breached*
***
*I argue that we need to add something to our next version to take these
comment into account.

I suggest a final core value that reads:

Work to ensure that ICANN respects human right obligations, accounts for
impact on human rights in policy creation, and adheres to the "Respect,
Protect and Remedy" framework developed by the UN.

I am not recommending that we enumerate specific rights, for example
freedom of expression as it is included among the set of indivisible
rights that make up the International Bill of Rights established by the
UDHR, the CSPR, and the CESPR.

thanks

avri
