Windsor,

In response to your two questions here is brief comment. Chase me down if you want to dig deeper. Is there any charter of human right and principles for the internet? One way of thinking about this is to anchor any concept of human rights and the Internet within the framework of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). I think this is where ICANN and human rights might go, holding ICANN responsible for its activities within its remit, but under the broadest of human rights umbrellas. Trying to design a specific declaration of Internet rights at the Internet (or ICANN) level would both be hard and have major down side risks.

Most abuses and denials of human rights occur at the national level. It might be more useful to look at the nexus between the Internet and human rights at the national level. For that you might look at the national positions on Internet rights in countries like Brazil and Estonia. 

For: How to coordinate with… various entities (Amnesty International, INTROPOL) that deal with abuses of human rights?, that again is a problem probably most effectively approached at the national level. Best to exercise pressure (internal and external) at the level of the state and multilateral collaboration, with pressure for transparency and accountability kept up by groups like Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, etc. As for INTROPOL and other police functions, they are grounded in national law and multilateral collaboration, and ICANN should have no involvement at that level.
