Viet Nam Human Rights
Democracy and security in the digital era
3/4/15
In the framework of the Conference of
Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) 132 in Hanoi
Internet and modern computer system are great intellectual achievements - one of measures
for democracy and openness of each country in international integration. The
digital era facilitates the expansion of democratic rights of the inner, rich
tools and new forms of expression. It is more direct especially the right to
freedom of thought, expression, access, sharing and transmitting information
and participation in social life. Social networks contribute to widespread and
spread official information faster than political message; supporting communication,
exchange and listening to the opinions of the people and community...
But at the same time, digital era
contributes to the political economic or military conflicts with new scale,
manifestations and consequences. The impersonation, abusing democracy and
individual freedom to distribute distorted information, fabrications or stealing
personal information; comments full of biases, distortions or abuse in the name
of security communities to increase control over cyberspace and control of
personal information ... can distort perception, limit democracy, violate
freedom, privacy and not easy to warn risk and measure the consequences.
Moreover, in digital era, all
nations, businesses and individuals are increasing reliance on network systems.
Information processing infrastructure becomes a new target to attack. The
prevention of cyber warfare, security and keeping data security information
become increasingly new non-traditional challenges at both national and global
level as many messages in the conference IPU-132. Network war is “one of the
great modern threats”; a war with no limits on geography, space and time, the
impact, the dangerous and complex with “no guns”, “no borders”,
“non-conventional”, “war completely bloodless, but it can cause fatal
consequences”. Many countries are facing and heavily influenced from the
assaults on the network to the extent possible “rocked the economy”. “Cyber
crimes can be classified as the risk of the biggest security threat to the country,
on par with the terrorist attack, chemical weapons and nuclear disaster”.
New non-traditional challenges
outlined above requires awareness, new approaches based on the law. To ensure
network security must go hand in ensuring respect for human rights, privacy and
individual liberties. In particular, the need to identify to go to a general
definition of the concept of global cyber warfare, cyber crime; strengthening
of legislative activities and monitoring at national and international level;
commiting not to attack each other in cyberspace; developing mechanisms and
rules of conduct, promoting mutually beneficial cooperation in human resources,
technology exchange, information sharing, monitoring, warning and responding to
information security incidents safety and security. Collaboration scenarios and
rescue team of network security incidents; continue to improve the
institutional guarantee democracy, access and security of personal information;
educate people know distill information solely responsible for the information
you give, self-protecting privacy and respect for privacy, freedom of others
...
As an official and responsible member
in IPU since 1979, the National Assembly and the State of Vietnam has been doing
our best for the community and world parliaments to continue improving the
legal framework, “turning words into action” to ensure democracy and security,
preventing threats to privacy and freedom of citizens in digital era for a
world of peace, democracy, cooperation and sustainable development.
