Room VI
Thematic Workshop
The WSIS Forum 2012 offers a timely opportunity to bring together insights and ideas from various initiatives presently underway across the world to review, modernize and/or develop new approaches to privacy to keep pace with the evolving global data environment. Building on that experience sharing, this workshop seeks to explore potential gaps in current frameworks, issues surrounding interoperability, and some possible ways forward.
Background
In 2009, the 31st International Conference of Data Protection and Privacy Commissioners (“Conference”) produced a Joint Proposal for a Draft of International Standards on the Protection of Privacy with regard to the processing of Personal Data (“the Madrid Resolution”). In 2010, the 32nd Conference adopted a Resolution calling for the organization of an intergovernmental conference with a view to developing a binding international instrument on privacy and the protection of personal data.
In 2011, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) published Thirty Years After The OECD Privacy Guidelines with terms of reference for the review of OECD guidelines, and started its review. The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) adopted the APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) System. The UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) also commenced research on a global survey of Internet privacy laws and regulations.
In 2012, the Council of Europe released proposals for the modernization of Convention 108. The European Commission “proposed a major reform of the EU legal framework on the protection of personal data” that would “… strengthen individual rights and tackle the challenges of globalization and new technologies”.
Further, at the national level, many countries introduced new privacy laws (e.g. Mexico and Peru) or proposed changes to their existing legal frameworks (e.g. US – where the Obama Administration recently released the Consumer Data Privacy in a Networked World: A Framework for Protecting Privacy and Promoting Innovation in the Global Digital Economy report).
At the same time, considerable work is happening in other spheres – business, technical, academic, civil society, users etc. – aimed at providing better solutions and guidance for online privacy.
