Instant Customary International Law and the Human Right to Privacy: How Can It Mitigate the Dangers of Surveillance Societies?

Opinnäytetyöt 30.4.2020, Gradut ja muut tutkielmat

This thesis shall analyse how instant custom of international law may act as a mitigator for the issues presented by the modern surveillance societies. A multidisciplinary, non-dogmatic approach has been chosen to analyse the issue and as a result the sources vary from international treaties and other international regulation to as soft law sources.
New challenges have risen and everyday life has changed. Societies are more interdependent and traditional societal boundaries fade. The concept of data privacy shall be examined in an international human rights context and an introductory look into surveillance societies and the possible dangers they create is taken. The main focus is in discussing the relationship between surveillance societies and instant custom and how instant custom can mitigate the dangers of surveillance societies. (Edilex-toimitus)
