Abstract
The report broadly covers the use of information and communication technology (ICT) from the viewpoint of ICT usage as “a double-edged sword.” Used properly, ICTs can result in the enhancement of human rights. On the other hand, it can also lead to violations of human rights, especially where authoritarian governments exist. The paper focuses on the Rwandan experience.
