EPIC published the 2005 Privacy and Human Rights Report: "Privacy and Human Rights: An International Survey of Privacy Laws and Developments." The 1,200 page report explores privacy developments around the globe and provides detailed information on emerging privacy topics.
Executive summaries are available in Spanish, Russian, and Arabic. The Privacy and Human Rights 2005 report documents the continued expansion of government surveillance authority. Many countries have pursued new identification schemes, expanded monitoring of communications, weakened data protection laws, and intensified data transfers between public and private sectors.
The report also finds continuing public opposition to
identification systems, secret video surveillance, DNA databases, and radio
frequency identification (RFID) technologies. The 2005 edition survey tracks
the adoption of new data protection and open government laws, and includes
new country reports for Africa, Asia, Europe, and Latin America. The 2005
edition of Privacy and Human Rights also includes an expanded table of
contents that makes it easier to assess developments in particular
countries.
