Our Common Humanity in the Information Age. Principles and Values for Development

Robert Nagel, Ph.D., ICT Specialist, Chairman, eSecureDocs, Inc.
Robert H. Nagel is Chairman and Chief Technology Officer of eSecureDocs, Inc. He has 
worked in the fields of information technology and telephony security for over forty 
years and has held senior management positions in two public companies: Digits Corp. 
and InfoSafe Systems, Inc. He is a pioneer and innovator in the development of large-
scale, mission-critical, computer-based information systems, many of which he designed 
for, and delivered to government agencies and private industry. He is one of a few 
computer scientists with an advanced degree in neurophysiology and, therefore, draws 
upon a rare confluence of knowledge and insight regarding the functioning of the human 
brain and the design of sophisticated computer systems. He is the inventor of 15 patents, 
the latest of which issued in July 2006.
The technology Nagel designed at InfoSafe Systems, Inc., won the Seybold Award for 
Excellence as the “most innovative product of the year.” His work in high technology 
received major press coverage in such publications as Fortune, Forbes, and Business 
Week. He testified before Congress on the capabilities of a system he designed for 
NASDAQ.
In 1995 Nagel began working closely with the United Nations. He presented several 
seminars through the Informatics Committee. Nagels’ lucid description of complex issues 
assisted several nations as they sought to resolve this looming technological threat in 
their countries. As he gained the confidence of those he met, he promoted the concept of 
a human rights treaty for the disabled as he is totally blind.
He is a representative to the UN from the CCCUN, an accredited NGO. He has actively 
participated in the Ad Hoc Committee on a Comprehensive and Integral International 
Convention on the Protection and Promotion of the Rights and Dignity of Persons with 
Disabilities which was adopted in August 2006. As founder of Blind Visions Technology,
