>The Communication Rights in the Information Society Campaign, an
>international network of organisations and individuals working to ensure
>that Communication Rights are central to any vision of an information
>society, is mobilising around the forthcoming negotiations on the UNESCO
>Draft Convention on Cultural Diversity.
>
>The stated aim of the draft convention is to allow each country to
>implement cultural, media, and communications policies that foster
>cultural diversity.
>
>Sasha Constanza-Schock, of Free Press and an active CRIS members says:
>"This Convention was originally designed to ensure that culture, in the
>age of globalised culture industries, is not reduced to a commodity.
>However, some governments have proposed dangerous revisions that would
>transform the draft Convention into an instrument that expands corporate
>ownership of culture."
>
>In response the CRIS campaign will submit concrete suggestions to UNESCO
>for changes to the draft Convention on 15th November 2004 based on the
>following:
>
>* First, the Convention must not be made subordinate to existing or
>future trade agreements. To do so would defeat its purpose.
>
>* Second, it should be designed to not only protect diversity of
>national and regional cultural industries, but to protect the cultural
>diversity and the communication rights of all peoples.
>
>* Third, it must balance any references to the protection of
>intellectual property rights with reference to protection of the
>cultural commons. Otherwise, references to intellectual property rights
>should be removed altogether.
>
>CRIS is now calling on civil society organizations to join the campaign
>to support its efforts and add their signatures on:
