Governments are reacting to the cyberbullying phenomenon by calling for new criminal sanctions. In Canada, several provinces and the Canadian Senate have examined this complex issue in depth. The Standing Senate Committee on Human Rights has made seven recommendations to the federal government, including promoting human rights education and the values of “Digital Citizenship.” At the same time, cyberbullying cases are reaching the courts here and elsewhere, revealing limits to the ability to address the problem with our legal systems.

Panel 1: Digital Citizenship
Panel 2: The Challenges of Legal Response
