This final product will be presented to the IACHR to make it compatible with the mechanisms available in the Inter-American System. In addition, the Dialogue will promote that the actors involved establish action commitments based on the solutions and good practices also identified during the process.

Topics

In relation to the challenges identified, the Dialogue of the Americas will analyze three thematic axes:

  1. Content Moderation.
  2. Digital Literacy.
  3. Decay of Public Debate.

Phases

The Dialogue of the Americas is divided into two phases, each of which presents different opportunities for participation and involvement for the actors. From the Office of the Special Rapporteur for Freedom of Expression, a conscious effort is made to be able to listen to as many voices as possible.
Here are some participation opportunities to consider depending on the phase in development:

  • Fase 1 – Delimitación de los ejes temáticos y establecimiento de la agenda: El objetivo será conceptualizar los ejes temáticos reduciendo la asimetría de la información para establecer y priorizar la agenda de acción a seguir. Esta fase iniciará desde el 1 de septiembre hasta el 1 de febrero 2022.
  • Fase 2 – Diseñar un plan de acción para la CIDH: Un grupo de trabajo multisectorial será formado por RELE con el objetivo de analizar los resultados obtenidos en la fase 1 junto con los mecanismos disponibles de la CIDH para elaborar un plan de acción. Esta fase se desarrollará desde 15 de febrero del 2022 hasta 15 de julio 2022.
