Digital rights are considered to be the same fundamental human rights that exist in the offline world – but in the online world. In 2012 (and again in 2014 and 2016), the UN Human Rights Council agreed in a resolution that the "same rights that people have offline must also be protected online." This means that rather than seeking to define new rights for the online space, UN has recommended extending existing human rights to cyberspace. At the same time, rights such as privacy and freedom of expression have gained additional attention as cases of abuse have been noticed by both private and public stakeholders. In this context, a number of European and international organisations are on a path to ensure safeguards for human rights in the new digital era.
