28.11.2005 Civil Society organisations had earlier written to United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan expressing serious concern about the suitability of Tunisia as a host country for the WSIS because of its poor huiman rights record. They have now asked him, again, to take follow up measures after serious attacks on human rights and the right to freedom of expression at the summit.

21.11.2005 The legitimacy of the World Summit On the Information Society had been put in question by the interference of the Tunisian authorities, and no UN-sponsored summit should ever again be held under such oppressive conditions, said a leading right group.

21.11.2005 E' cominciato con atti di repressione verso i giornalisti e censura di siti internet da parte del governo tunisino e si č concluso senza alcun impegno finanziario dei Paesi ricchi per sostenere il "Fondo di solidarietą digitale" per ridurre il "digital gap", il divario di accesso ad internet tra Nord e il Sud del pianeta.
Nel mezzo, il “Summit mondiale della societą dell'informazione” (WSIS) dell'Onu, che si č tenuto a Tunisi dal 16 al 18 novembre, ha registrato un compromesso sulla gestione di internet, la rinuncia dell'Onu a farsi carico della rete ed una dichiarazione formale che pur sottolineando l'importanza della libertą d'espressione e della libera circolazione dell'informazione, non prevede sanzioni verso quei Paesi che continuano ad ignorarle.

20.11.2005 On the afternoon of Friday, November 18, 2005, one of three stakeholders taking part in the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) drew a line in the sand. Civil society (CS) representatives from all continents lined up on a panel to deliver a stark closing statement. At the same time, International Telecommunications Union UN-o-crats drew conclusions of their own a couple of hundred meters away in the plenary room.

19.11.2005 L'eco delle iniziative della dissidenza tunisina č entrata anche al Vertice mondiale sulla societą dell'informazione (WSIS). Mentre si teneva una manifestazione promossa dal premio Nobel per la pace 2003, Shirin Ebadi, al centro di Tunisi in un edificio dove dal 18 di Ottobre otto persone sono in sciopero della fame, nella sala "La Goulette" nella sede del vertice ufficiale si teneva un forum sulle riforme delle istituzioni internazionali organizzato da Ubuntu e Cris dove diversi sono stati gli interventi sul tema. Al Vertice, che si č chiuso oggi, nessun impegno concreto č stato perņ assunto dai Paesi ricchi, che hanno rifiutato di destinare risorse al Fondo per la solidarietą digitale lanciato proprio a Ginevra, con l’obiettivo di ridurre la distanza tra il Nord e il Sud del pianeta in questo settore.

18.11.2005 Prvi dan sam bila očajna tražeći žene po prostoru uz toliko nadmoćnu prisutnost muškaraca, posebno onih uniformiranih i naoružanih. No, kad sam malo pogledala uokolo, vidjela sam (osim participanata) pretežno žene u ružičastom koje rade kao čistačice i hodaju okolo vukući vreće sa smećem.

17.11.2005 Bio je to izrazito naporan, hektičan i rastresen dan, tako da se nadam da ću dati barem kratak pregled prije nego što padnem od umora. Dakle, nakon gotovo sedmogodišnjeg rada na ovom procesu, konačno vezujemo vezice i približavamo se dogovoru. Da, riječ je o otvaranju WSIS-a II!
