Geneva - 6 November 2013 - The United Nations (ECOSOC), grants Special
Consultative Status to OISTE.ORG based in Geneva promoting a "Switzerland on the
Internet" to provide Net neutrality. UN Consultative status enables OISTE.ORG to
actively engage with the United Nations Secretariat, programs, funds and
agencies in a number of ways http://www.oiste.org/wp-

OISTE.ORG considers that there are important issues related to personal data
management, digital identity, information security and the respect of the right
to privacy that concern all Internet users and demand concerted actions between
States. The OISTE Foundation founded in 1998 as a not for profit organization
based in Geneva, Switzerland, regulated by article 80 et seq. of the Swiss Civil
Code is creating a "Switzerland on the Internet", a set of policies,
technologies and legislation allowing the Internet to provide Net neutrality
which is increasingly becoming a subject of discussions both at private and
public sector. OISTE position is that internet companies, social networks, cloud
services, internet services providers and governments should treat the data of
users and organizations equally and that everyone has the right to free access
to an open internet. Any erosion of net neutrality is an attack on the founding
principles of the internet. At the heart of this strategy OISTE Rootkey is
present in over 2 billion browsers and mobile browsers and Internet of Things
devices allowing OISTE root to be ubiquitous and universal when receives the
public key from web certification authorities worldwide.
OISTE calls on other NGOs and UN Member States to work towards the requirement
that Internet has to articulate the "right to disappear" into its design. This
means that individuals will be empowered to manage their personal information,
including the possibility of deleting personal data if they do not want it to
linger in cyberspace. This in compliance with the Article 12 of the Universal
Declaration of Human Rights "No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference
with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour
and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such
interference or attacks".
