ABR proudly supports 500 authors around the world in protesting at the infringement of civil rights in the digital age and seeking the creation of an International Bill of Digital Rights.

The initiative called ‘Writers Against Surveillance’ today published a pledge demanding ‘all states and corporations’ respect the right ‘for all people, as democratic citizens, to determine to what extent their personal data may be collected, stored and processed.’ To protect civil rights in the digital age, the authors are also urging the United Nations ‘to create an International Bill of Digital Rights.’
