One of the defining challenges of our time is updating what it means to protect and promote human rights in an increasingly online world. Addressing this evolving challenge, Denmark is committed to ensuring the protection and promotion of these rights online. The modern notion of Human Rights is borne out of the United Nations, and one of the most central arenas for the struggle for Human Rights in the 21st century is the UN Human Rights Council (UN HRC).
