"Guidelines for the Governance of Digital Platforms" 6 November 2023

UNESCO is proud to announce the release of the Guidelines for the Governance of Digital Platforms, available in English, French and Spanish. Arabic, Russian, Chinese and Portuguese will be available soon.

The Guidelines are the result of an extensive and collaborative effort that started in September 2022. It brought together a wide array of stakeholders through three global consultations, including one held during the Internet for Trust conference organized by UNESCO last February.

The consultative process involved the engagement of people from 134 countries, including marginalized and vulnerable groups, generating over 10,000 comments. This made it one of the most extensive consultation projects ever conducted by a UN agency.
