The present policy brief is focused on how threats to information integrity are having an impact on progress on global, national and local issues. It outlines potential principles for a code of conduct that will help to guide Member States, the digital platforms and other stakeholders in their efforts to make the digital space more inclusive and safer for all, while vigorously defending the right to freedom of opinion and expression, and the right to access information. The Code of Conduct for Information Integrity on Digital Platforms is being developed in the context of preparations for the Summit of the Future. This is the eighth of the Summit of the Future Policy Briefs.
