The article focuses on the core international legal norms, standards, and conventions centered on protecting individual rights in the field of digital security. The authors identify the strong and weak points of existing mechanisms and their relevance in addressing the challenges of today’s digital environment. The author emphasizes the significance of constant updates and adaptations of international legal instruments in order to ensure efficient protection of individuals from digital risks, given the rapid advancement of technology and the emergence of new categories of security threats. Digital technologies have the potential to both reduce and exacerbate discrimination in different areas of life. It is important to keep in mind that technologies are generally neutral, but their design, application, and algorithms can be a source of discrimination. Threats in cyberspace are often cross-border in nature and addressing them requires the joint efforts of the global community.
