WCIT12 finally collapses « radiobruxelleslibera.
The negotiations in Dubai have failed. Despite the fact that long discussions had created large consensus towards a draft document deprived of the most controversial issues (such as the extension of ITU’s powers over the Internet and the ETNO’s proposal on Internet termination), on December 13, 2102 a last-minute controversial intervention vanished the entire process. The African delegation succeeded in getting approved a resolution which, de facto, would legitimate filtering and monitoring of Internet traffic. US, European countries and most delegations of Western-liberal States have therefore left the negotiation desk. The WCIT12 is therefore collapsing: even if the Treaty will be now signed, it will not be binding vis-à-vis most of the Internet-centric countries.
