All in person. | Research Presentation: “Examining Privacy Interference Under Martial Law: Are There Boundaries and Constraints to Identify?” Topics of focus: – What impact has martial law had on privacy rights, and can they be curtailed? – Has there been a rise in privacy infringements against Ukrainian citizens? – How do authorities address breaches of privacy rights? – Does the deployment of artificial intelligence constitute privacy infringement, and what considerations are necessary to prevent human rights violations? Why is it interesting? During the event, experts from the Ukrainian Helsinki Human Rights Union will present analytical studies including: “Exploring Legal Boundaries of Privacy Constraints Under Martial Law” and “Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights: Directives and Constraints within the Domain of National Security and Defense”. The experts will discuss instances where limitations on privacy rights are deemed justified and lawful, as well as cases where their legitimacy may be contentious. For reference: In the first quarter of 2024, pre-trial investigation authorities documented 202 cases of privacy violations. This represents a notable increase compared to the 164 cases reported in 2022 and the 422 cases in 2023. Experts attribute this surge, in part, to heightened citizen awareness regarding mechanisms for safeguarding their rights. However, despite the increase in investigations, the court received only 24 cases in 2023, resulting in six guilty verdicts. Discrepancies between the number of indictments and cases brought to court stem from variations in statistical tracking methods. Registration form: https://forms.gle/XzCF8wWfNja23Pw3A |
