United Nations Approves Internet Privacy Resolution

“The United Nations’ human rights committee passed a ‘right to privacy’ resolution that was sponsored by Germany and Brazil. The new document protects the right to privacy against illegal surveillance even in the online world.  The resolution states specifically that governments and companies who deal with surveillance or data interception ‘may violate or abuse human rights.’  Despite the already-long history of the Internet, this is the first time that human rights in the online medium are mentioned, pointing out that these should prevail, everywhere.  Fifty-five countries co-sponsored the resolution, including nations such as France, Russia and North Korea.”
