New Coordinates of Human and Child Rights in the Digital Age. EU and International Stakes and Perspectives

In an interactive and increasingly digitally connected world, a world where Artificial Intelligence has driven scientific vision and research towards a new approach to fundamental human rights, we aim to uncover the EU and international stakes and perspectives in light of new soft and hard law regulations, advocating for the extension of offline human rights to online activities and interactions. The design, development and incorrect use of new technologies, technologies that are unevenly absorbed globally, pose major risks in undermining the protection of human rights and freedoms, "shaking" democratic values that have been hard-won over time. The priority objective remains the efficient integration of digitalisation and the achievement of enhanced protection in shaping the new coordinates of human rights, with this research capturing the complexity and effervescence of regulations on data, algorithms and security. Therefore, it is essential to place human dignity and other personality rights at the center of all these debates as well as in the reconfiguration of legislation in light of technological innovations. Fundamentally, at the center of these new visions of the future and of the legislative instruments that are or will be adopted, we must place, without any right of appeal, the child and all his internationally recognised rights. It is an absolute necessity that beyond new technologies we do not leave behind recognised and won rights, sometimes with great effort.
