Abstract
The emergence of digital technology has fundamentally transformed all facets
of human existence, posing important queries about the safeguarding and
implementation of human rights in the digital domain. The research focuses on
important topics including privacy, freedom of speech, and information access.
The methodology involves an extensive review of existing literature, legal
frameworks, and relevant case studies to provide a comprehensive understanding
of the intersection between technology and human rights. The paper highlights
the challenges posed by surveillance, data breaches, and the digital divide
while also exploring the role of international law and policy in safeguarding
digital rights. The review highlights the significance of modifying human
rights frameworks for the digital era, pointing out gaps in existing research
and offering recommendations for future investigations.
