Türk addresses World Standards Cooperation meeting on human rights and digital technology

Warm thanks for the opportunity to speak here today. I am delighted to open a new chapter in the joint work of our organisations to uphold human rights in the world of digital technology. Just one generation ago, we could never have imagined that our lives would become as enriched and empowered as they are today by our highly digital and interconnected daily reality. Technical standards play a crucial role in this reality. They hold up our digital infrastructure and keep it functional.
