Why: This workshop will build on the outcomes of an IGF session debate in 2016 entitled "On cybersecurity: Who has got our back?". During that session proposal, one of the key outcomes and requests of participants was that there is a need for more guidance on how encryption policy can be human rights respecting. This session will provide participants with the ability to critically assess existing encryption-related policies against human rights standards and is equally divided between a moderated panel discussion with experts and an interactive, hands-on session for participants.
20 minutes: A moderated discussion with experts
Four experts (see below) will provide their perspectives on the interplay between encryption and human rights for 3-5 minutes each.
15 minutes: Interactive analysis in break-out groups
All participants will then break out into groups. They will be asked to analyse a piece of legislation or policy and provide recommendations on how to improve it.
20 minutes: Sharing insights in plenary
Each group will be asked to present their analysis and take questions from the other participants.
5 minutes: Wrap up and next steps
A short wrap-up will summarise findings and explain what next steps, including any concrete outputs/materials that will follow the session that summarise findings, which be distributed.
