This text looks at two sides of the same coin – i.e., how the global multilateral system might harness the power of new technologies to further peace, security and development, and yet also blunt the inequalities, governance problems and conflict potentials that spring from the same source. To facilitate all these efforts, the paper’s authors recommend that the UN should 1) formally recognize the Internet and big data as global public goods; 2) consolidate a multilateral space for innovation and technology, and more.
