Abstract: Cybersecurity and Human Rights in the Age of Cyberveillance is
a collection of articles by distinguished authors from the US and Europe
and presents a contemporary perspectives on the limits online of human
rights. By considering the latest political events and case law,
including the NSA PRISM surveillance program controversy, the planned EU
data protection amendments, and the latest European Court of Human
Rights jurisprudence, it provides an analysis of the ongoing legal
discourse on global cyberveillance.
Using examples from contemporary state practice, including content
filtering and Internet shutdowns during the Arab Spring as well as the
PRISM controversy, the authors identify limits of state and third party
interference with individual human rights of Internet users. Analysis is
based on existing human rights standards, as enshrined within
international law including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights,
International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, European
Convention on Human Rights and recommendations from the Human Rights
Council. The definition of human rights, perceived as freedoms and
liberties guaranteed to every human being by international legal
consensus will be presented based on the rich body on international law.
The book is designed to serve as a reference source for early 21st
century information policies and on the future of Internet governance
and will be useful to scholars in the information studies fields,
including computer, information and library science. It is also aimed at
scholars in the fields of international law, international relations,
diplomacy studies and political science.
