Abstract :

This contribution presents an opinion of a group of Member States, which see a possible great potential of telecommunications/ICTs available if the Union contribute to the digital transformation that puts humans at the centre, as mentioned also within the broadly supported policy statement at the 2022 Plenipotentiary Conference in Bucharest.
The contribution is bound to the Plenary agenda item 2.3 on dealing with the standard developing processes around the UN system and other international intergovernmental processes. In addition, the ITU itself has released its report, where in the point 5 it proposes an enhanced cooperation with OHCHR as well as other standard developing organisations.
