   I think this is nonsense, to be frank. We are not "world citizens",   
   "netizens" or whatever. We are bound to the (cultural) rules and   
   regulations of the respective countries we live in. If you live in a   
   country that doesn't even have the concept of freedom of speech or   
   privacy to begin with, your demands will fall on deaf ears and you'd   
   have to approach this thing from a more fundamental level of cultural   
   change. The majority of people in the world doesn't live in countries   
   with freedom of speech, freedom of expression or a right to privacy.   
   Think about China, the islamic world or most parts of Africa. We are   
   basically talking about implementing something that only exists in   
   western countries.   
      
   And when it comes to the western world: We already know what we need and   
   what to lobby for, based on our respective cultural values   
   (enlightenment). We don't need some arbitrary document for that: Freedom   
   of speech, the right to privacy, private correspondence and subsequently   
   encryption.
