In this way, I just mention this initiative of the United Nations to create a group supporting the Technology Facilitation Mechanism (a process related to the framework of the new Sustainable Development Goals at global level). http://sd.iisd.org/news/un-announces-composition-terms-of-10-member-group-to-support-tfm/ https://sustainabledevelopment.un.org/topics/technology/facilitationmechanism/10membergroup As we know, United Nations are occupied by very different interests, including obviously mega-corporations and industries ones. But this process I mentioned before has the support of the ETC group for example, a very activist group struggling against private colonization and impact of technologies in different fields and regions. UN initiated this group under the proposals of various networks, aiming to strengthen the pressure on governments and lobbyings. Let's see if free software/hardware/infrastructure could be part of the discussion and connected to rights and development frameworks as you suggested.
