Website for UNESCO's Preparation for World Summit on Information Society Launched

September 10, 2002 - An online platform providing information on UNESCO's contribution to the preparation of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) is now at http://www.unesco.org/wsis. The website provides data on UNESCO's numerous preparatory activities and lists links to similar services of other organizations and national governments.

WSIS, organized by the International Telecommunication Union Council (ITU), in close cooperation with other UN Agencies, will be held in December 2003 in Geneva, Switzerland, and in 2005 in Tunis, Tunisia.

UNESCO with its unique mandate to promote the free exchange of ideas and knowledge plays a key role in the WSIS preparation. UNESCO's contribution incorporates the ethical, legal and sociocultural dimensions of the Information Society and helps to grasp the opportunities offered by the ICTs by placing the individual at its centre.

UNESCO encourages the broadest possible participation by decision-makers, professional communities, representatives of civil society, bilateral and multilateral partners and the private sector in a debate on the conditions for the development of an information society for all.
