FN vill ha mer dataskydd, mindre övervakning!
27 länder föreslagit en resolution i FN om bättre dataskydd. Den inkluderar metadata, alltså information om vem som har ringt vem, när det har ringts
och varifrån (och så vidare). Omröstning i december enligt österrikiska nyhetssidan ORF. Se också Reuters, som har en artikel om samma ämne.
UPPDATERING: Efter lite trixande borde direktlänken till dokumentet nu fungera. Annars heter dokumentet A/C.3/69/L.26 i dagordningen och är klickbart på fem språk där.
Man kan återfinna den föreslagna resolutionen på den här länken. Och här är tredje utskottets dagordning. Tyvärr har Sverige inte ställt sig bakom förslaget som bland annat innehåller (tillagd emfas):
Emphasizing that unlawful or arbitrary surveillance and/or interception of communications, as well as unlawful or arbitrary collection of personal data, including data about communications, known as metadata, as highly intrusive acts, violate the right to privacy, can interfere with freedom of expression and may contradict the tenets of a democratic society, especially when undertaken on a mass scale,
Noting that while concerns about public security may justify the gathering and protection of certain sensitive information, States must ensure full compliance with their obligations under international human rights law,
Noting in particular that surveillance of digital communications must be conducted on the basis of a legal framework, which must be publicly accessible, clear, precise, comprehensive and non-discriminatory and that any interference with the right to privacy must be necessary and proportionate to the pursuance of legitimate aims and not impair the essence of the right,
Noting that surveillance, the interception of digital communications and/or the collection of personal data that involves a State’s exercise of power or effective control over communications infrastructure, regardless of its location, may engage its human rights obligations relating to the right to privacy,
Emphasizing that the human rights obligations of a State regarding the right to privacy extend to the exercise of its regulatory jurisdiction over private parties that physically control data, regardless of their location,
Recalling that private enterprises have a responsibility to respect human rights and to prevent and address the adverse impacts of their activities on human rights, as set out, notably, in the Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights: Implementing the United Nations “Protect, Respect and Remedy” Framework, 8
Deeply concerned at the negative impact that surveillance and/or interception of communications, including extraterritorial surveillance and/or interception of communications, as well as the collection of personal data, in particular when carried out on a mass scale, may have on the exercise and enjoyment of human rights,
/.../
4. Calls upon all States:
(a) To respect and protect the right to privacy, including in the context of digital communication;
(b) To take measures to put an end to violations of those rights and to create the conditions to prevent such violations, including by ensuring that relevant national legislation complies with their obligations under international human rights law;
(c) To review their procedures, practices and legislation regarding the surveillance of communications, their interception and the collection of personal data, including mass surveillance, interception and collection, with a view to upholding the right to privacy by ensuring the full and effective implementation of all their obligations under international human rights law;
(d) To establish or maintain existing independent, effective, adequately resourced and impartial judicial, administrative and/or parliamentary domestic oversight mechanisms capable of ensuring transparency, as appropriate, and accountability for State surveillance of communications, their interception and the collection of personal data, including metadata;
(e) To provide individuals whose right to privacy has been violated as a consequence of individual or mass surveillance and/or interception of communications, as well as individual or mass collection and storage of personal data, including metadata, access to effective remedy, without discrimination;
