MANAGING FAKE NEWS TO STRENGTHEN PEACE, JUSTICE & INSTITUTIONS (SDG 16)

Abstract

The high rate of the spread of fake news has become a significant threat of promoting peace, justice and credibility of institutions such that the realisation of Sustainable Development Goal 16, which aims to help promote peaceful and inclusive societies, fair and inclusive access to justice, development of responsible and accountable institutions is directly affected. Both intentional disinformation and inadvertent misinformation can be resolved as fake news ready to destroy social cohesion, contribute to violence and communal straining, vols please electoral politics, be manufactured into democratic administrations, and diminish societal confidence in government and legal procedures. The online sphere, which is dominated by social networks and instant messaging services, makes such content even faster and more considerable, presenting a form of challenge to both states and societies. To solve this problem, it is necessary to find a multi-pronged method consisting of the level of digital literacy, fact-checking tools, regulation, and the involvement of the civil society without interfering with the freedom of expression. It is, therefore, necessary to manage the fake news in order to build robust democratic resilience, establish justice, and create strong institutions across the globe.
