The United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has reaffirmed that privacy and personal data protection are fundamental human rights in the digital age.
The UN calls on governments and private entities to ensure lawful surveillance, responsible data processing, and safeguards against abuse, particularly in digital platforms and AI technologies.
This reinforces GDPR’s rights-based approach and strengthens expectations around accountability and transparency.
