The U.N. Acts to Protect the Human Right to Privacy

The resolution also identifies various surveillance practices, including mass spying, as particularly harmful to privacy and other human rights such as the right to freedom of expression. The resolution doesn‘t impose binding obligations, but it urges U.N. members to take steps to better respect and protect the human right to privacy. This includes ending practices that violate the right and reviewing existing laws and practices on the interception and collection of personal data.
