Input for Report on Disinformation Year of publication: 2021 Corporate author: International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) IFLA responded to a call for inputs about human rights impacts of measures against disinformation, issued by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on the promotion and protection of the right to freedom of opinion and expression. Concerns over – and dialogue about ways to address – the negative impacts of false and misleading information online have remained high on the agenda over the past months, particularly in light of prominent examples of health and electoral dis- and mis-information.Disinformation, uniquely challenging in the increasingly dense and complex digital information environment, interferes with individuals’ ability to make informed decisions and realise their essential human rights. However, the new call for inputs by the UN Special Rapporteur also draws attention to the concerns about human rights impacts of measures which different stakeholders – from states to online platforms, human rights organisations and others – take to combat disinformation.These include, of course, the impacts of broadly- or vaguely-defined “fake news” laws on freedom of expression and opinion; or internet shutdowns that bear a heavy cost on people’s access to information as a driver of development and rights.In light of this, IFLA’s submission highlights the potential of media and information literacy interventions to help address the challenges of mis- and dis-information. Drawing on the global library field’s experiences, it points to some possible good practices and insights from the ongoing work and research in this field – from targeted and tailored outreach initiatives that can help reach those who are not currently in formal education, to scalability and replicability of interventions.Of course, this is an emerging field. Our understanding of how media and information literacy interventions can be effectively leveraged against disinformation, pitfalls to avoid and ways to maximise impact, continues to evolve. That’s why the submission emphasises the need for more research and cross-stakeholder collaboration – and libraries can and do offer valuable practical and theoretical insights for this ongoing discussion. 
Artificial Intelligence: Media and Information Literacy, Human Rights and Freedom of Expression Year of publication: 2020 Author: Igor Shnurenko | Tatiana Murovana | Ibrahim Kushchu Corporate author: UNESCO Institute for Information Technologies in Education (IITE) | TheNextMinds The collection of papers “Artificial Intelligence: Media and Information Literacy, Human Rights and Freedom of Expression” continues the UNESCO IITE’s series of publications entitled “Digital Transformation of Education”.The publication describes the fundamentals of artificial intelligence and AI-based technologies, their impact on the modern information and media environment, new challenges in the field of media and information literacy associated with the growing automation of the processes of creating, disseminating and accessing information, the use of AI in decision-making and control systems in various areas. There is a strong focus on the growing risks of reducing individual agency, people’s ability to interpret reality autonomously and to act according to their own agenda.These issues are more relevant now than ever before for education undergoing digital transformation. The publication seeks to contribute to a critical understanding of the digital environment in which learning and teaching unfold, and strategies and tactics for the use of new technologies and the digitalization of educational interactions. 
Elections and Media in Digital Times (In Focus Series: Global Trends in Freedom of Expression and Media Development) Year of publication: 2019 Author: Tarlach McGonagle | Maciek Bednarski | Mariana Francese Coutinho | Arthur Zimin Corporate author: UNESCO Digital companies are enabling politicians, political parties and voters to communicate in unprecedented ways, and expanding opportunities for seeking, receiving and imparting political information and ideas.

Наряду с позитивными сторонами растет озабоченность по поводу вырисовывающихся и усиливающихся угроз целостности и авторитету выборов, а также вкладу средств массовой информации в свободные, справедливые, транспарентные и мирные избирательные процессы.В настоящем докладе освещаются три сходящиеся тенденции, связанные со СМИ и выборами в цифровую эпоху: рост дезинформации, усиление нападений на журналистов и перебои в предоставлении информационно-коммуникационных технологий в период выборов. Это исследование, предлагая возможные ответы на стоящие перед нами проблемы, является своего рода инструментом для правительств, специалистов по проведению выборов, организаций средств массовой информации, журналистов, гражданского общества, частного сектора, научных кругов и отдельных лиц. 
Toolkit for Urban Inclusion in Arab Cities: Cities Promoting Inclusion Through Public Participation, Access to Information, Sport, and Citizenship and Human Rights Education Year of publication: 2020 Author: Kareem Ibrahim | Deena Khalil | Marwa Barakat | Salwa Salman Corporate author: UNESCO | European Training and Research Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (Austria) | UNESCO Cairo Arab cities are witnessing an unprecedented expansion. Home to more than half of the region’s population, Arab cities have transformed into heterogeneous spaces that host diverse identities, cultures, and ethnicities. In order for this transformation to lead to prosperity, city officials must adopt a rights-based, human-centred approach, and implement inclusive policies and measures that provide equal opportunities for all.In this context, the Toolkit for Urban Inclusion in Arab Cities provides Arab city leaders and local government officials with practical tools and advice to guide their efforts towards establishing inclusive and sustainable cities. The Toolkit is based on the real experiences and practices of cities members of the Coalition of Arab Cities against Racism, Discrimination, Xenophobia and Intolerance in planning, implementing and evaluating programs and projects that promote urban inclusion and combat exclusion in all its forms.The Toolkit focuses on four topics of high priority to the Arab Coalition member cities: public participation, access to information, sport for youth inclusion, and citizenship and human rights education. Manuel des villes arabes pour l’inclusion urbaine: Promouvoir l’inclusion urbaine par la participation publique, l’accès à l’information, le sport, et l’éducation à la citoyenneté et aux droits de l’homme Year of publication: 2020 Author: Kareem Ibrahim | Deena Khalil | Marwa Barakat | Salwa Salman Corporate author: UNESCO | European Training and Research Centre for Human Rights and Democracy (Austria) | UNESCO Cairo Les villes arabes connaissent un développement urbain accéléré qui les a amenées à réunir plus de la moitié de la population régionale. Une combinaison de nombreux facteurs a transformé la majorité des villes arabes en lieux de brassage où abondent les identités, les cultures et les ethnies variées. Ces transformations peuvent contribuer à la réalisation de la prospérité sociale, à condition que les responsables des villes adoptent un programme législatif centré sur les droits de l’homme, et qu’ils mettent en œuvre des politiques et des dispositions susceptibles de réaliser l’inclusion de manière à assurer l’égalité des chances à tous leurs habitants. Dans ce contexte, le Manuel des villes arabes pour l’inclusion urbaine propose un ensemble d’outils et de conseils pratiques susceptibles de servir de guide aux édiles des villes arabes et aux responsables des gouvernements locaux dans leur quête pour la mise en place de villes inclusives et durables. Le Manuel prend pour base les acquis et expériences de la Coalition des villes arabes contre le racisme, la discrimination, la xénophobie et l’intolérance dans la planification, la réalisation et l’évaluation de programmes et de projets pour favoriser l’inclusion sociale et pour s’opposer à l’exclusion sous toutes ses formes. Le Manuel est centré sur quatre questions désignées par les villes membres parmi leurs priorités : La Participation publique, l’Accès à l’information, le Sport pour l’inclusion des jeunes, l’Éducation à la citoyenneté et aux droits de l’homme.
