Committee Description

The Commission on Science and Technology for Development (CSTD) will focus on promoting universal human rights, as outlined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), with an emphasis on addressing modern digital challenges to these rights. Delegates will explore critical issues such as the right to privacy, freedom of expression, and the right to assembly in the digital age. Key discussions will include protecting personal data in an era of rapid technological advancements, defining the boundaries between freedom of expression and hate speech on social media platforms, and ensuring universal access to the internet as a fundamental human right, particularly for rural and disenfranchised communities. The committee aims to develop innovative solutions to uphold digital rights while safeguarding individual freedoms and fostering inclusive digital access for all.
