DIRECTORATE GENERAL FOR INTERNAL POLICIES POLICY DEPARTMENT C: CITIZENS' RIGHTS AND CONSTITUTIONAL AFFAIRS CIVIL LIBERTIES, JUSTICE AND HOME AFFAIRS NATIONAL PROGRAMMES FOR MASS SURVEILLANCE OF PERSONAL DATA IN EU MEMBER STATES AND THEIR COMPATIBILITY WITH EU LAW STUDY Abstract In the wake of the disclosures surrounding PRISM and other US surveillance programmes, this study makes an assessment of the large-scale surveillance practices by a selection of EU member states: the UK, Sweden, France, Germany and the Netherlands. Given the large-scale nature of surveillance practices at stake, which represent a reconfiguration of traditional intelligence gathering, the study contends that an analysis of European surveillance programmes cannot be reduced to a question of balance between data protection versus national security, but has to be framed in terms of collective freedoms and democracy. It finds that four of the five EU member states selected for in-depth examination are engaging in some form of large-scale interception and surveillance of communication data, and identifies parallels and discrepancies between these programmes and the NSA-run operations. The study argues that these surveillance programmes do not stand outside the realm of EU intervention but can be engaged from an EU law perspective via (i) an understanding of national security in a democratic rule of law framework where fundamental human rights standards and judicial oversight constitute key standards; (ii) the risks presented to the internal security of the Union as a whole as well as the privacy of EU citizens as data owners, and (iii) the potential spillover into the activities and responsibilities of EU agencies. -
IN the EUROPEAN COURT of HUMAN RIGHTS App No. 24960/15 10 HUMAN RIGHTS
IN THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS App No. 24960/15 10 HUMAN RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS AND OTHERS – v – THE UNITED KINGDOM THIRD PARTY INTERVENTION OF THE ELECTRONIC PRIVACY INFORMATION CENTER Introduction 1. The Electronic Privacy Information Center (“EPIC”) welcomes the opportunity to submit these written comments pursuant to leave granted on February 26, 2016, by the President of the First Section under Rule 44 §3 of the Rules of the Court. These submissions do not address the facts or merits of the applicants’ case. 2. EPIC is a public interest, non-profit research and educational organization based in Washington, D.C. 1 EPIC was established in 1994 to focus public attention on emerging privacy and civil liberties issues and to protect privacy, freedom of expression, and democratic values in the information age. EPIC routinely files amicus briefs in U.S. courts, pursues open government cases, defends consumer privacy, coordinates non- profit participation in international policy discussions, and advocates before legislative and judicial organizations about emerging privacy and civil liberties issues. EPIC is a leading privacy and freedom of information organization in the US with special expertise in government surveillance related legal matters. 3. The matter before the Court in 10 Human Rights Organizations and Others v. the United Kingdom impacts the human rights to privacy, data protection and freedom of expression of people around the world, which is reflected also by the variety of the applicants’ affiliations. The matter before the Court is an issue of broad international importance because it involves arrangements to transfer personal data between the United States and European countries. -

Ses révélations en 2013 – une démarche qui en Amérique vaut le qualificatif de « lanceur d’alerte » à son auteur s’il s’agit d’un fonctionnaire du gouvernement – ont déclenché une prise de conscience générale du fait que les nouvelles technologies avaient atteint des niveaux d’omniscience inédits jusqu’alors – du fait que « ils », les Yeux et les Oreilles du gouvernement, pouvaient voir et entendre tout ce que nous, vous, moi, considérons comme privé. Quelles que soient vos convictions ou réactions à propos de la démarche de Snowden, il est indéniable qu’il a tenté de nous alerter sur l’illégalité des agissements de ce nouvel État de Sécurité Nationale, dont la surveillance de masse de sa propre population. -

Human Rights Treaties and Foreign Surveillance: Privacy in the Digital Age
\\jciprod01\productn\H\HLI\56-1\HLI103.txt unknown Seq: 1 27-APR-15 10:31 Volume 56, Number 1, Winter 2015 Human Rights Treaties and Foreign Surveillance: Privacy in the Digital Age Marko Milanovic* Introduction The 2013 revelations by Edward Snowden of the scope and magnitude of electronic surveillance programs run by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) and some of its partners, chief among them the UK Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ), have provoked intense public de- bate regarding the proper limits of such intelligence activities. Privacy ac- tivists decry such programs, especially those involving the mass collection of the data or communications of ordinary individuals across the globe, argu- ing that they create an inhibiting surveillance climate that diminishes basic freedoms, while government officials justify them as necessary to prevent terrorism. Snowden’s disclosures proved especially damaging for U.S. for- eign policy interests when it was revealed that the United States and some of its “Five Eyes” partners1 spied on the leaders of allied governments, includ- ing Germany, Mexico, Brazil, and Indonesia.2 * Associate Professor, University of Nottingham School of Law; Visiting Professor, University of Michigan Law School, Fall 2013; Secretary-General, European Society of International Law.

Echelon/Frenchelon : Mythes Et Réalités
Echelon/Frenchelon : mythes et réalités Enjeux politiques et stratégiques des systèmes de surveillance Conférence de Jean Marc Manach, le 14 avril 2005 à l©IEP de Rennes à l©invitation de l©association YSEGORIA Introduction Le programme anglo-saxon d©écoute des télécommunications, surnommé « Echelon », qui fait de temps à autres les choux gras d©Hollywood et de certains jeux vidéos, et constitue l©un des sujets de prédilection des adeptes des « théories de la conspiration », est un « secret défense » plus ou moins battu en brèche par certains journalistes et défenseurs des droits de l©homme et de la vie privée. « Frenchelon », son (relatif) équivalent français (et partiellement européen), est bien moins connu : révélée en 1998, son existence n©a jamais entraînée qu©une poignée d©articles de quelques journalistes (un anglais, cinq français), quand bien même plusieurs rapports parlementaires, et communiqués de presse du ministère de la Défense, en parlent à mots couverts. Dans les deux cas, ils ne sont que la partie emergée d©un iceberg dont l©ampleur croît à mesure que se développe la société de l©information; la question reste en effet de savoir ce qui, de l©espionnage militaire (et politique, et industriel), ou de la surveillance administrative (et policière, et domestique), constitue la plus grande menace en termes de libertés, et de démocratie. Chronique d©une médiatisation 1976 : un étudiant écossais en physique de 24 ans, Duncan Campbell, est arrêté par le contre- espionnage britannique pour avoir publié dans un journal (de gauche) une enquête sur une installation gouvernementale de surveillance électronique. S©ensuivent 18 mois de « tracasseries judiciaires », qui ne font que conforter Campbell dans son désir d©enquêter sur cette affaire. -

Fairfield† & Erik Luna†† Recent revelations have shown that almost all online activity and in- creasing amounts of offline activity are tracked using Big Data and data mining technologies. The ensuing debate has largely failed to consider an important consequence of mass surveillance: the obligation to provide access to information that might exonerate a criminal defendant. Although infor- mation technology can establish innocence—an ability that will only im- prove with technological advance—the fruits of mass surveillance have been used almost exclusively to convict. To address the imbalance and inform public dialogue, this Article develops the concept of “digital innocence” as a means of leveraging the tools of Big Data, data mining, ubiquitous con- sumer tracking, and digital forensics to prevent wrongful convictions and to provide hard proof of actual innocence for those already convicted.
