Dear all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Many of you might be interested to know that the Human Rights Council in Geneva has just adopted the establishment of a new UN Special Rapporteur on “The Right to Privacy in the Digital Age”. A Resolution to this effect was in consideration at
the 28th Session of the Human Rights Council for the past 4 weeks, and ISOC was following closely these developments.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Noteworthy, the mandate of the Special Rapporteur will include special consideration of issues related to the digital age and new technologies, including surveillance. This focus led to some arguments in the drafting sessions, but eventually the
Resolution was adopted today by consensus, without a vote.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This development is a direct follow-up to the UN General Assembly Resolution 69/166 from December 2014, led by Germany and Brazil, that asked the Council to consider the creation of such a mandate.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If the work of the UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Expression is any indication, we can expect this new independent expert to bring some useful human rights insights into some of the key privacy issues that affect people today, whether online
or offline.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The text of the mandate is currently available on the<a href="https://extranet.ohchr.org/sites/hrc/HRCSessions/RegularSessions/28thSession/Resolutions/Forms/ResolutionDS/docsethomepage.aspx?ID=68&FolderCTID=0x0120D520005A4381ABFFD48642897E02288D058A2200F3973D7EDFDD584590F4186360C52ADA&List=877f135a-1410-4ecb-a403-941565b55398&RootFolder=/sites/hrc/HRCSessions/RegularSessions/28thSession/Resolutions/The%20right%20to%20privacy%20in%20the%20digital%20age" target="_blank">

<div>Are you excited by this development?</div>
