(...) That is a continuation — and a geographic expansion — of the widespread and systematic attack on the civilian population identified in document A/HRC/25/65. (...)

Universal service and access requirements for mobile cellular revolve around three areas:
achieving widespread coverage;
ensuring that mobile operators contribute to universal service/access funds and can draw upon those funds;
mandating the installation of a certain number of public payphones.
(...) The availability of a pre-paid service is also important since potential users are not excluded for reasons of credit unworthiness.
Promoting widespread coverage is the starting point for ensuring that mobile cellular contributes to universal access.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
It has to be recalled that among others, the Dubai declaration recognised that;
a) Universal and affordable access to telecommunications/information and communication
technologies (ICTs) is essential for the world's economic, social and cultural development, and
contributes to building a global economy and information society;
c) Widespread conformance and interoperability of telecommunication/ICT equipment and
systems through the implementation of relevant programmes, policies and decisions can increase
market opportunities and reliability and encourage global integration and trade;
and therefore declared among others that,
With convergence, policy-makers and regulators should continue to promote widespread, affordable
access to telecommunications/ICTs, including Internet access, through fair, transparent, stable,
predictable and non-discriminatory enabling policy, legal and regulatory environments, including
common approaches to conformance and interoperability that promote competition, increase consumer
choices, foster continued technological and service innovation and provide investment incentives at
national, regional and international levels.
Increased participation of developing countries in ITU activities to bridge the standardization gap is
needed in order to ensure that they experience the economic benefits associated with technological
development, and to better reflect the requirements and interests of developing countries in this area.
Building widespread telecommunication/ICT literacy as well as human and institutional capacity in the
development and use of telecommunication/ICT networks, applications and services are key to enabling
people to access and contribute to information, ideas and knowledge. (...) ASSESSMENT STUDIES done for EAC SADC and Maghreb/UMA aiming at promoting
regional integration and C&I regimes. This is the reason ITU also invited the three Secretariats
participating in this meeting
In addition, ITU has Study Questions in C&I to which all of us present here are expected to contribute.

The acts or omissions alleged against the accused in this indictment which constitute Crimes Against Humanity are crimes punishable
under Article 5 of the Statute of the Tribunal, and were part of a
widespread or systematic attack directed against a civilian population,
specifically the Serb population of the Medak Pocket.
16. (...) Mirko NORAC failed to take necessary
and reasonable measures to prevent the commission of such acts or
punish the perpetrators thereof.
(...) As a result of these widespread and systematic unlawful acts during the Croatian military operation, the Medak Pocket became

Over a thousand companies have been licensed around the world to provide mobile service thanks to the widespread introduction of competition. Handset prices have dropped tremendously due to growing market sizes, which permit economies of scale, technological enhancements and, in some cases, cross-subsidization of handset prices. (...) There are a number of reasons why mobile can be a more attractive than fixed-lines for improving access to telecommunications in developing countries:
Mobile networks can be installed more rapidly than fixed-line networks;
Mobile networks are increasingly available with pre-paid cards so that users are not automatically disqualified from using the service because of a lack of creditworthiness;
There are a number of reasons why mobile can be a more attractive solution than fixed-lines for improving access to telecom-munications in developing countries

She urges that the UN human rights system move beyond the two categories of rights to retrieve a more unified understanding of human rights, so as to ensure access to justice and remedies for widespread and egregious violations of the right to life resulting from States’ failures to take reasonable measures to address poverty, homelessness and grossly inadequate housing.
6. (...) The question raised in the report to the General Assembly is: how have we gotten to a point where such serious and widespread violations of the right to life are not identified and addressed as such?
(...) State neglect and inaction in response to widespread violations of the right to life in context of homelessness or grossly inadequate housing has not been addressed as an equally serious violation of human rights.

Top UN officials urge all to back Annan’s global study on violence against children
12 October 2006
Highlighting the widespread incidence of violence against children in all parts of the world, top United Nations officials today stressed the importance of following-up on Secretary-General Kofi Annan’s in-depth study of the problem, by acting on its recommendations for better legislation and enforcement.

(...) “It can never be justified whether for disciplinary reasons or cultural tradition. No such thing as a ‘reasonable’ level of violence is acceptable.

In order to establish the widespread nature of the crimes prosecuted, the
Chamber considered that the Appellant had committed acts of enlistment,
which are entirely non-criminal acts insofar as they involved individuals aged
15 years and older. (...) As the Chamber itself pointed out,6 an examination of the evidence does not
establish beyond reasonable doubt that the recruitment and participation of
children under the age of 15 years in the UPC/FPLC between 1 September
2002 and 13 August 2003 was widespread.
10. (...) The Chamber could not reasonably find that the use of children under the age
of 15 years by the FPLC (a) to participate in fighting; (b) as military guards;
(c) as the bodyguards of military chiefs and other senior members of the
UPC/FPLC; and (d) as Thomas Lubanga’s bodyguards had been widespread.

In particular, the information available provides a reasonable basis to believe that, since July 2009, Boko Haram has launched a widespread and systematic attack that has resulted in the killing of more than 1,200 Christian and Muslims civilians in different locations throughout Nigeria. (...) The consistent pattern of such incidents indicates that the group possesses the means to carry out a widespread and/or systematic attack, and displays the degree of internal coordination and organizational control required to that end. (...) As a result of the December 2010 - January 2011 violence, more than 200 Muslims and Christians alike were allegedly killed by the opposite side.38
50. Widespread inter-communal violence took place in twelve northern and central states triggered by the results of the presidential elections held in April 2011.
