Introduction

The definition of digital rights is having the right and freedom to use all types of digital technology. Digital rights are merely an extension of the rights set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations as applied to the Online world. 

The main objective of the declaration is to guarantee access to the Internet, in an effort to cover the digital divide and the proper use of the network as a global asset. It is however unfortunate that there is no international consensus on Digital Rights which has forced each country to develop its own Digital Rights Charter. 

Digital rights include; the right to digital access, the right to freedom of expression, the right to privacy, the right to credit for personal works, and the right to digital identity.
