Abstract
"In order to appreciate the implications of information ethics as a global issue and specifically reflecting the North/ and South, we need first to look at the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 19 Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers (UN, 1948). World Summit on the Information Society Geneva Declaration in which information ethics was identified as a critical component in building a people-centered, development focused and inclusive information society. The declaration stipulates that everyone can create access, utilize and share information and knowledge enabling individuals and communities to achieve their full potential in promoting their development (WSIS, 2003)."
