W3C is cited in UN OHCHR's: "Making technical standards work for humanity: New pathways for incorporating international human rights into standards development for digital technologies"
"The W3C has published three consensus statements relevant to human rights: Ethical Web Principles, the Vision for W3C, and Privacy Principles, all of which are principle-driven and result in procedural commitments that are conducive for human rights in its technical standards setting"
