Modernisation of the Council of Europe Convention 108
With new data protection challenges arising everyday, the Convention is
being overhauled to meet new realities and time is now ripe to think about
modernising it. The technological developments of the information and
communication society as well as the globalisation of exchanges lead to
unexplored challenges and potential new risks for the protection of human
rights and fundamental freedoms. Is Convention 108's protection still in
line with today's needs in respect of data protection or should it be
modified and complemented in order to better satisfy the legitimate
expectations of individuals and concerned professionals?
