人权欧洲法院为违犯它的私密权指令 €英国的政府支付7,500在费用和费用对英国人权组织自由通过拦截它的电信。

自由与爱尔兰委员会为公民自由(ICCL)和英国爱尔兰权利手表一起采取了论点在电话、电传、电子邮件和数据的拦截在这些组织之间在7年的期间，从1991年到1997年。

英国政府，当拒绝透露具体，被承认这些通信时可能由英国的国防部管理的一种电子测试设施集体拦截了和存放了。

它保卫了拦截，根据，而监视违犯了申请人’私密权，这是必要的有利于国家安全，为严肃的罪行的预防和保障英国的经济福利。 它争辩说，到位有保障系统保证未多余地拦截人的通信，并且适当的规程被跟随了。

自由争辩说， “保障”围拢拦截不是容易接近和没对公众已知，因此人们不能预见他们的保密性被违犯的程度。 这在人权没有达成协议以欧洲大会，并且人权欧洲法院的判例法，他们说。 法院发现治理数据拦截在英国的规则没有据法案法律要求“开始以形式容易接近对公众做法的任何征兆为选择为考试，分享，存放和毁坏被拦截的材料被跟随”。

当注意英国政府时做的论据显露的信息关于怎样工作的保障将禁止监视政权的有效率，法院指出了德国政府能明白解说在立法围拢它的公民的拦截的章程’电信。

发现有侵害申请人’私密权，如由欧洲大会在人权，法院的Article 8保证阐明，干涉以申请人’权利不是“与法律符合”。

Welcoming the judgment, ICCL director Mark Kelly said: “The Strasbourg Court has vindicated the ICCL’s belief that data ‘fishing expeditions’ by the intelligence services will fall foul of Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The judges have found that the United Kingdom’s relatively sophisticated rules on data interception have failed to prevent unlawful interference with privacy rights.

“This has clear implications for Ireland’s lax data interception regime, which will require a thorough overhaul in order to ensure that it meets the standards required by the European Court of Human Rights.”

TJ McIntyre, chairman of Digital Rights Ireland and lecturer in law in University College Dublin, said that this judgment would be significant for the legal challenge to data retention currently being brought by Digital Rights Ireland in the High Court.

“This is a landmark case which casts further doubt on the legality of Ireland’s ‘data retention’ system, which tracks the telephone calls and internet use of all citizens without discrimination,” he said. “It is a clear statement from the court that indiscriminate surveillance will generally be incompatible with the right to privacy under the European Convention on Human Rights.”
