SRSG on violence against children: Annual report 2014, para. 107
Paragraph
Paragraph text
As young people stressed during the 2013 Global Youth Summit promoted by the International Telecommunication Union, more than simply trying to avoid online threats, it is important to develop children's capacities as digital citizens; and promote solid values and life skills, including a strong sense of responsibility, respect and concern for others. Rather than curtailing children's natural curiosity and sense of innovation for fear of encountering risks online, it is critical to tap into children's resourcefulness and enhance their resilience while exploring the potential of the Internet.
