International organizations against disinformation

Abstract

Disinformation and information manipulation have risen to become two of the main challenges facing the information society in which we live and posing a particularly big threat to the correct development of electoral processes. With this in mind, almost all the actors in the international community have centered their efforts on defining this phenomenon and on finding ways to deal with it. From the G7, to the European Union, as well as the UN and NATO; international organizations have made pioneering efforts in their fight against disinformation. The objective of our work is, first, to understand the disinformation phenomenon, define it and dissect it; and subsequently analyze the measures taken against it.
