Summary:

Today’s world has facilitated the digitization of daily life, while States have gradually developed various control and surveillance mechanisms in the digital world that have an impact on social life. Some States are highly aware of how important the formation of digital citizenship and respect for human rights is, this is not a constant, especially for the countries with the greatest inequality and poverty in the world.

In this way, it seeks to discuss the use, distribution and commercialization in the public and private sphere of electronic surveillance devices and mechanisms at a global level, thereby blurring the borders between the virtual and the analogical from events in which the National regulatory frameworks are unclear or not expressly created for the digital sphere, which is why they end up being ineffective in the face of these new realities. Specifically, we seek to recognize good and bad practices implemented by local and/or regional governments with a perspective of care or protection of the Human Rights of people on this issue, especially in countries with lower degrees of human development.

It is intended to include research that addresses the impact of digital as well as these monitoring mechanisms, recognizing that the new forms of digital citizenship are increasingly difficult for Nation States to track, analyze and regulate. Works that contribute to the line may be included, such as the evaluation of the results and their effectiveness from a public policy perspective and their use in judicial procedures in different countries, among others.
