| description |
There is a growing body of practice and
literature on the role of information and communication
technologies (ICTs) in preventing and responding to
violence. There is also a lot of excitement and
corresponding literature about the role of the internet in
non-violent change and democratization. The use of mobile
phones, social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, and
user-generated content (UGC) like blogs and YouTube videos
in the protests in Tunisia and Egypt, as well as throughout
the wider middle-east and North Africa (MENA) region have
shown how ICTs can complement and augment the exercise of
rights to freedom of expression, freedom of association, and
freedom of peaceful assembly. This literature focuses on the
use of ICTs before and during conflict, for example in
conflict prevention and early warning. What about the use of
ICTs in post-conflict situations; after the negotiation of
peace agreements? How can ICTs be used in post-conflict
interventions; more specifically in post-conflict
peacebuilding and post-conflict reconstruction and recovery?
What role of can be played here by social media and
user-generated content? |
