SUMMARY:Internet Bill(s) of Rights – Lunch talk with Edoardo Celeste
DESCRIPTION:\nImage: © N. Egger – E. Celeste\nOPEN BROWN-BAG LUNCH\nLunc
 h talk with Edoardo Celeste:\nInternet Bill(s) of Rights\nWednesday\, 21 F
 ebruary 2018 · 1 pm · HIIG Kitchen\nOver the last years\, eminent voices
  from the Internet intelligentsia made an appeal for a ‘constitution’ 
 for the digital environment. Online Magna Carta\, Internet Bill of Rights\
 , Constitution for the Internet\, Charter of Digital Fundamental Rights ar
 e only some examples of the evocative denominations used to convey this id
 ea. Moreover\, as a recent working paper of the Berkman Centre for Interne
 t and Society documented\, a copious number of documents seeking to implem
 ent this project emerged. Also\, these texts explicitly refer to the const
 itutional dimension and adopt its typical jargon\, structure\, and pompous
 ness. However\, beyond their solemn titles and magniloquent tone\, what do
  these texts\, and generally\, the idea of an Internet bill of rights\, ha
 ve in common with constitutional law? HIIG Fellow Edoardo Celeste will pre
 sent the findings of his doctoral research focusing on this topic.\nStarti
 ng with an outline of the core characteristics of the idea of Internet bil
 l of rights\, as developed by the existing scholarship\, the presentation 
 will firstly highlight those in common with the notion of constitution. Su
 bsequently\, the question of how one could justify\, from a constitutional
  perspective\, the emergence of the project to establish a similar documen
 t will be tackled. In particular\, it will be considered why it would be n
 ecessary to establish a specific constitutional document for the Internet\
 , rather than using other existing constitutional instruments\, like natio
 nal constitutions. Such an analysis will be followed by an examination of 
 existing texts which have sought to implement the idea of Internet bill of
  rights. It will be shown that these disparate documents\, in fact\, encou
 nter a series of difficulties in translating the project of Internet const
 itution into reality. Taking stock of the current problems\, the presentat
 ion will conclude by speculating on potential future developments.\nEdoard
 o Celeste is a visiting fellow at HIIG and an Irish Research Council funde
 d PhD candidate at the Sutherland School of Law at University College Dubl
 in.\nThe lunch talk is open to the public\, please register in advance via
