The Right to Privacy in Paraguay
PI submitted with TEDIC a joint stakeholder report on the state of privacy in view of Paraguay's review at the 38th session of the UPR.
Key advocacy points
- Paraguay must review its legal framework to comply with the right to privacy including its laws regulating communications surveillance and intelligence activities.
- Paraguay must adopt a comprehensive and robust data protection law to regulate the processing of personal data, and protect people.
- Any extraordinary measures adopted to respond and tackle COVID19 must be in line with human rights law and standards, and that public health is not used as a justification to undermine and curtail disproportionally fundamental rights and freedoms.
