Bonsoir,
Merci Victor pour ce point de vue clair et sans ambiguïté.
Je pense qu'en faisant des alliances avec le bloc qui dit "NON" et, en
travaillant ensemble sur les arguments qui confortent la position, le
combat ne sera pas vain.
Les USA s'opposent à ce qu'internet passe sous contrôle de l'ONU
Les Etats-Unis vont s'opposer à la révision d'un traité qui ferait
passer internet sous le contrôle des Nations unies, a déclaré, mercredi
1er août, le chef de la délégation américaine en charge de ce dossier.
Washington soumettra vendredi sa position formelle pour la réunion de
l'Union internationale des télécommunications (UIT), une agence de
l'ONU, qui doit avoir lieu en décembre, a déclaré Terry Kramer,
l'émissaire nommé pour ces négociations.
