UNESCO Observatory on the Information Society
http://snipurl.com/kqpp

The phrase “information society” may not be well-known to all, but the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) has been compelled to keep member states abreast of related developments in this area since October 1998, when the Observatory was created. Their initial objective was to provide information on the following issues: access to information in public domain, electronic commerce, privacy and confidentiality in cyberspace, and violence in cyberspace. Today, their mission is much the same, and those persons with an interest in these general and specific areas will find this site quite useful. The Observatory maintains a number of regional observatories in different regions of the world, and visitors can look through each of these areas to read topical news coverage and reports generated by each of these units. Visitors can also look through a thematic list of categories on the homepage that address such topics as e-governance, internet governance, frameworks for online communication, and several dozen others.
