Source The UN has ranked the anonymity of the Internet to human rightsthe Council for human rights of the United Nations published a report on anonymity and encryption on the Internet. The document States that the anonymity and encryption allow human rights to freedom of opinion and expression. David Kaye (David Kaye), the UN special Rapporteur on freedom of expression, in his report, urged the government not to block and not to insist on control of the instruments of encryption and anonymity.
"the Debate about encryption and anonymity are all too often focused on their potential use in criminal or terrorist purposes. But even emergency situations do not exempt the country from the obligation to respect human rights", the report said. Kaye also argues that prohibitions on encryption due to fear of "marginalized minority" of terrorists and criminals will violate the rights of a much larger number of people. Rapporteur recommends that States "promote strong encryption and anonymity, and national legislation - "to recognize the freedom of anonymity in digital communications". "the States should not be limited to encryption and anonymity that contribute to and often exercise the right to freedom of opinion and expression. Comprehensive bans may not be necessary or proportionate", says Kaye. the document says that the report filed with the permission of the Council for human rights of the UN. It is worth noting that the UN is not a legislative body, and creates recommendations for member countries of the organization.
