Correction: Security Days event on “A Human Rights-Centred Approach to Technology and Security” to take place on 8 November 2019 in Vienna

Given the central role of human rights and fundamental freedoms in the OSCE’s comprehensive concept of security, participants in this OSCE Security Day will discuss the profound implications of the newest technological tools available both to states and non-state actors for all aspects of security, including the human dimension. The event will focus on opportunities and challenges associated with the design and use of new technologies, including risks of abuse as well as positive applications of such technologies to advance democracy, human rights, transparency and accountability.

Active participation over social networks is welcomed and encouraged: comments and questions can be sent prior to and during the event via Twitter at @OSCE, using the hashtag #secdays and on Facebook.
