The Hague Summit for Accountability in the Digital Age will be held 6 and 7 November 2019 at the Peace Palace in The Hague, Netherlands.
Within the framework of the ITU Regional Initiative for Europe on Enhancing Trust and Confidence in the use of ICTs, adopted by the World Telecommunication Development Conference 2017 (WTDC-17), Buenos Aires, the Conference is supported and powered by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
This Summit will focus on safeguarding the role of the internet as a tool for personal, professional and social engagement.

The goals are to facilitate transparency, a common understanding and thus to promote a maximum sustainable net benefit for people and societies worldwide.
This event will be a 2-day conference bringing together a global multi-stakeholder community from national and local governments, international policymakers, civil society, NGOs, the ICT industry and platforms as well as other relevant Organizations and institutions. The delegates’ conclusions and recommendations will contribute to shaping a global path towards a responsible policy. Together our aim is to foster accountability in and for the digital age.
