Global Digital Justice Forum calls for structural reforms, public financing and digital democracy in its WSIS+20 input

By Boris Begovic|2025-11-27T18:12:49+00:00July00 17, 2025|

The Global Digital Justice Forum has submitted an extensive contribution to the WSIS+20 Elements Paper, urging UN member states to place digital justice, public interest governance and structural reforms at the centre of the Zero Draft. The submission highlights persistent global inequalities, Big Tech consolidation, failures of market-led connectivity, and the need for public financing, community-driven digital commons, international tax justice, and rights-centred data and AI governance. It positions WSIS+20 as a pivotal moment to rethink global digital governance and realign it with social justice, ecological sustainability and democratic participation.
