- Abstract:
- This article reviews how children’ s rights can be considered a driver of internet governance based on general comment No. 25 (2021) on children’ s rights in relation to the digital environment. This instrument translates the rights derived from the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child from the pre-digital era to the application of children’ s rights to current issues of digitization. In the introduction, I explain how this general comment was drawn up and what its legal significance is. This article briefly summarizes the content of the general comment and then goes on to discuss the main impacts of this instrument on internet governance, namely, substantial shifts, children’ s rights by design, the law’ s binding nature, and participation.
