1. Key Policy Questions and related issues:
The inclusion of Digital integrity of a human person as a new human right: The person’s digital profile can be seen as an extension of their body, and just as the physical body, this digital extension should be protected against mutilation, misuse and theft
The right to digital integrity, when guaranteed in Constitution or other human rights legislation, will create an unopposable right for individuals to request that internet governance is always conceived and executed with respect to each individuals’ integrity.
Assurance of (self) digital integrity will enhance trust in Governmental Institutions, Platforms, and organizations processing data.
2. Summary of Issues Discussed:
- Areas of broad support/agreement:
- need for quality protection of Human Rights by Digital technologies

- Aspects of persons identity and if the digital identity is separate from the “real world” or not.
- need for quality protection of Human Rights by Digital technologies
- – Areas of no agreement/areas needing further discussion and development
- strict government regulation of internet businesses
3. Key Takeaways:
- – there is a high interest in this topic
- – common understanding that stakes are high for the society

6. Reflection to Gender Issues:
Gender Identity also reflects in the digital – and if someone decides to change its gender at some point, that change also reflects in the online world – and doing so should be in the sole control of that person. Lack of protection of Digital Integrity will certainly lead to serious problems and consequences, not only in the digital but also in the physical world.
