RightsCon Toronto 2018

During RightsCon 2017 the Brussels Principles on Medication Sales Over the Internet were created during a workshop, titled Online Access to Affordable Medication: Applying Human Rights Law to Cyber Rule-Making and Internet Governance. The Brussels Principles address safe and affordable purchase of medications using the Internet. While these principles have been socialized over the past year, bringing them back to RightsCon for further engagement, collaboration and development is appropriate given the global benefit of such principles if adopted and implemented.

At RightsCon 2018, expert panelists on digital rights, human rights, consumer rights, jurisdiction and Internet distance care – along with those in attendance at our session – will bring ideas and recommendations to refine and improve upon the 2017 Brussels Principles. The output from this session will move the principles one step closer to becoming the global standard that make delivery of safe, affordable medications using the Internet a reality.
