A/HRC/21/30 25. A representative of a non-governmental organization suggested a draft resolution or convention on the protection of journalists, including bloggers. A suggestion was also made that the issue of technologies used by “repressive” political regimes, with the complicity of private enterprises, to limit the freedom of opinion and expression on the Internet, should be discussed. In this regard, a recommendation was made for the creation of a global standard applicable to all private companies to ensure the same degree of transparency and accountability. The importance of multi-stakeholder dialogue for reaching a consensus on the issue of the Internet and freedom of expression was also stressed. 26. A representative of a private company called on other companies to join the Global Network Initiative to set common rules for the private sector to best respect human rights on the Internet. 27. Some delegates proposed that a resolution or declaration be adopted by the Human Rights Council on the issue of combating cybercrime. 28. In his concluding remarks, the Vice-President of the Human Rights Council stated that the panel discussion had provided an excellent opportunity to discuss the issue of freedom of expression on the Internet. He looked forward to the continuation of the debate on this important issue at future sessions of the Council. 6
