摘要

Are new rights needed? Embracing the frontier of technology, this research aims to explore key regulatory responses to the challenges posed by the digital age in light of the principle of the best interests of the child and their rights and principles in the online environment, also called digital rights. These rights include, among others, the right to education and access to digital resources, the right to freedom of expression and access to information, as well as the right to privacy and the protection of personal data, which should be rights “unclouded” by digital sovereignty. Such a constantly moving regulatory landscape generates new opportunities to promote human rights in the digital sphere and to reconsider the existing framework on fundamental rights and freedoms. The digital revolution invites a normative transformation, which involves the transposition of fundamental rights in the digital sphere, but also the adaptation, reformation, “revival,” or even conceptualization of new rights, shaped by the digital transition. The research tends towards a “translation” of abstract ideas of what “digital rights and principles” mean into concrete human rights norms, adapted of course to the child, “navigating” between old and new norms triggering difficult legal policy dilemmas.
