INDIGENOUS PEOPLES:
CONNECTIVITY INITIATIVES
IN THE AMERICAS
The official UN WSIS
Declaration of Principles specifies that in the evolution of the
Information Society, particular attention must be given to the special
situation of Indigenous Peoples.
The Declaration states that in order to build an inclusive global
Information Society, "we will seek and effectively implement concrete
international approaches and mechanisms, including financial and technical
assistance. We invite all stakeholders to commit to the "Digital
Solidarity Agenda" set forth in the Plan of Action.
Regional dialogue should contribute to national capacity building and to
the alignment of national strategies with the goals of this Declaration of
Principles in a compatible way, while respecting national and regional
particularities." |
