The Global Digital Justice Forum delivered its statement on Rev 3.0 of the Global Digital Compact (GDC) at a virtual consultation convened by the co-facilitators of the GDC on 22 August 2024.

2. Short changing sustainable digital transition
3. A status-quoist vision of data governance
4. Sidestepping the WSIS mandate
5. Absence of a robust human rights scaffolding
