I always have problems finding articles that explore the linkages between human rights and technology, and from that need I had the idea. Thanks to the support of the UPEACE Dean of Academic Affairs, Juan Carlos Sainz-Borgo, and the Head of the International Law Department, Mihir Kanade, and UPEACE Rector, Francisco Rojas Aravena, this idea became a project, and thanks to all the people who contributed in the different stages of this process, it became the book “Human Rights and Technology. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development”. Thanks to the authors for your submissions, for complying with the very tight deadlines, and for believing that this was the best option to publish your work. Without your hard work this book would not be published. Many thanks to the reviewers - who are mentioned below- for helping me with the difficult task of selecting and improving the content of each article. I deeply appreciate your hard work and willingness to be part of this project. I cannot sufficiently express how grateful I am for all your help! Thanks to my wonderful Editorial Assistants Ana Carolina Paci, Dafne Calderon, Laurisse Noel, and Sorang Saragih for helping me in the final revision of the articles; and of course, to the UPEACE professors Ross Ryan, Gal Harmat, and Manish Thapa, for allowing their participation in the project. Also, thanks to Glenn Oliva, the designer of the cover. Thanks to my family and friends for always supporting my ideas, for helping me to find reviewers, for telling me what I needed to hear when I did not know how to handle time to finish this project, and for your everlasting love! But above all, thank you God for giving me the opportunity and the strength to do it.
