Governments Respond to UN Report On Three Strikes Violating International Law 

Monday June 13, 2011
More than 40 countries and delegations have responded at the Human Rights Council to the recent United Nations Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression report that criticizes three strikes/graduated response system. The response, which includes Canada as a co-signer, underscores the importance of privacy, the objective of universal Internet access, and notes the importance of net neutrality and openness. The countries acknowledged that "cutting off users from access to the Internet is generally not a proportionate sanction."
