On the Fundamental Amendment to the Council of Europe Convention for the Protection of Individuals with Regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data
Jurisprudence 4/2020 Section: Discussion Page: 35-44
Keywords: Data Protection Convention No. 108, Amending Protocol, Council of Europe Data Protection, European data protection standard, personal data protection, key principles of personal data protection
Abstract: The importance and impact of international law in the field of personal data protection has undeservedly remained in the shadow of European Union law in recent years. The public also often overlooks the interaction between international law and European Union law, which very well mirrors the development of Convention No. 108, in particular its application and amendment. The article reflects this interaction of legal regulation in the field of personal data protection, especially in connection with specific amendments to Convention No. 108 introduced by the amending protocol (CETS No. 223).
