In the face of technological development, the relationship between freedom, including freedom of speech, and security – especially its digital variety, namely cybersecurity – is a particularly difficult relation. It should be pointed out that the international plane is an indispensable dimension of human rights protection, since it is in the international plane that new standards in the field of human rights are created, which are then brought into the system of domestic law and the practice of states. Meanwhile, the existence of international legal regulations increasingly often becomes a guarantee of the effectiveness of domestic legal systems. International institutions often become the institution of appeal for individuals and a lever to force state governments to respect fundamental human rights and freedoms. Support for individuals, communities or nations fighting for their rights, and their success in this struggle, contribute to the formation of a new democratic international order.
