On the occasion of 2009 World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (WTISD) dedicated to ‘Protecting Children in Cyberspace’, the ITU Secretary-General announced a year-long Call for Action, in which he encouraged all stakeholders (policy-makers, regulators, operators, industry, NGOs) to promote the adoption of policies and strategies that will ensure safe access to online resources for the world's children and young people.
For the 2010 WSIS Forum held in conjunction with WTISD a report was
compiled to provide the WSIS community and 2010 WSIS Forum participants with an update on the activities of the Child Online Protection (COP) initiative undertaken by ITU and partners since ITU Secretary-General, Dr Hamadoun I.
