GENEVA: UN member states are set to sidestep a call for a moratorium on commercial spyware, deciding instead to commission a study of how digital technology affects human rights, according to a draft UN human rights resolution seen by Reuters.
If adopted by the UN Human Rights Council at the end of next week, the resolution would set up a panel discussion at the Council's session in June 2020, with a wide-ranging report completed a year later.
