Future of human rights

The future as to the management of human rights in cyberspace depends on the evolution of the law and its interpretation.^[1] Jon Bing warns that once rules and regulations are automated, they become extremely arduous to subject to judicial review.^[1] Bing states that we face a situation in which “technology [is] implementing the law”.^[1]

Roger Brownsword looked at issues associated with developments in biotechnology and human rights alongside those raised by digital technologies and suggested three main ethical positions on the issues: a utilitarian pragmatic stance, a defence of human rights and a “dignitarian alliance”.^[1] Of the three positions Brownsword claims the first two are becoming popular in the UK. He claims that technologies are being developed that treat human subjects as if they lack the capacity to choose.^[1]

Recent official discussions have taken place as to the future of cyberspace. In April 2008 the Virtual Law Conference^[2] was held in New York. The conference included participants such as Microsoft, Sony and the Walt Disney Company. The agenda included discussion on Intellectual property enforcement, legal issues in virtual currency, legal issues in virtual property, ethical concerns for attorneys and executives in virtual worlds and how to litigate a virtual lawsuit.^[3]

The US Congressional Hearing on Virtual Worlds also took place and its purpose was to educate and sort out the prospects of virtual worlds.^[4] The agenda included analysing concerns related to consumer protection, intellectual property protection and child protection, amongst other things. The hearing was one of the first legislative inquiries into virtual worlds. It remains to be seen whether either of these gatherings have any lasting results.^[3]
