Human rights challenges in the digital age
Judicial perspectives
Michael O’Boyle
Conseil de l'Europe
Livre numérique
The digital space is a powerful enabler for more inclusive democratic
discourse, participation and policy-making. At the same time, digitisation
comes with new challenges. The abundance of data in the online space and
powerful algorithm-based technologies pose serious risks to privacy, as well
as to other interrelated human rights. The trans-border nature of the Internet
itself presents significant legislative and judicial challenges for existing
legal and institutional frameworks. This book follows on from the June 2019
seminar paying tribute to the outstanding contribution of Lawrence Early,
Jurisconsult of the European Court of Human Rights, as he was about to retire.
The seminar brought together members of the judiciary and prominent legal
practitioners and academics, as well as representatives of European
institutions and non-governmental organisations. Speakers from different legal
systems and jurisdictions exchanged views on the ways to address the
complexity that protection of human rights online presents for the judiciary.
The seminar focused on three major subjects: judicial protection of freedom of
expression and the right to privacy in the digital environment; the concept of
jurisdiction in the World Wide Web; and the implications of Big Data. Given
the breadth and significance of the issues arising in this complex, technical
and fast-evolving area, the publication of these keynote contributions will
undoubtedly inform further reflection on these matters by judges, legislators,
experts and, perhaps most importantly, the general public.
