PRIVACY AND HUMAN RIGHTS
An International Survey of Privacy Laws and Practice
Privacy is a fundamental human right recognized in the UN Declaration of
Human Rights, the International Convenant on Civil and Political Rights and
in many other international and regional treaties. Privacy underpins human
dignity and other key values such as freedom of association and freedom of
speech. It has become one of the most important human rights issues of the
modern age. The publication of this report reflects the growing importance,
diversity and complexity of this fundamental right.
