Website for UNESCO's Preparation for World Summit on Information Society
Launched

September 10, 2002 - An online platform providing information on UNESCO's
contribution to 
the preparation of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) is now
at 
http://www.unesco.org/wsis. The website provides data on UNESCO's numerous
preparatory 
activities and lists links to similar services of other organizations and
national governments.

WSIS, organized by the International Telecommunication Union Council (ITU),
in close 
cooperation with other UN Agencies, will be held in December 2003 in Geneva,
Switzerland, 
and in 2005 in Tunis, Tunisia.

UNESCO with its unique mandate to promote the free exchange of ideas and
knowledge 
plays a key role in the WSIS preparation. UNESCO's contribution incorporates
the ethical, 
legal and sociocultural dimensions of the Information Society and helps to
grasp the 
opportunities offered by the ICTs by placing the individual at its centre.

UNESCO encourages the broadest possible participation by decision-makers,
professional 
communities, representatives of civil society, bilateral and multilateral
partners and the 
private sector in a debate on the conditions for the development of an
information society for
all.
