| description | One of the most important changes in our era is the ones promoted by the digital technology,
which has meant a challenge in the promotion of human rights. Not only do we talk about the
vulnerability to privacy, but also the possible biases of algorithms and other risks that
represent potential violations to human rights. International organizations, such as the United
Nations, have taken this issue in their hands, although the lack of development of norms
regarding digital technology and human rights. The main objective of this paper is to analyze
the way the non-conventional and conventional mechanisms of the United Nations Human
Rights System have treated this issue. Through a document review, some actions and
interpretations made by these will be analyzed, in order to determine some opportunities and
challenges in the way the United Nations has approached to this issue. |
