The UN human rights committee unanimously passed a “right to privacy” resolution sponsored by Germany and Brazil that protects the right to privacy against illegal surveillance, following revelations about NSA spying.
The resolution states that surveillance and data interception by
governments and companies "may violate or abuse human
rights.”
This is the first document that establishes protection of human
rights in the digital sphere, Brazil's Ambassador Antonio de
Aguiar Patriota told the AP. It "establishes for the first
time that human rights should prevail irrespective of the medium,
and therefore need to be protected online and offline,”
Patriota said.
