European Court Of Human Rights Fast-tracks Case Against GCHQ; More Organizations Launch Legal Challenges To UK Spying

from the on-the-defensive dept

Back in December, we wrote about a legal action that a group of digital rights activists had brought against GCHQ, alleging that the UK's mass online surveillance programs have breached the privacy of tens of millions of people across the UK and Europe. In an unexpected turn of events, the court involved -- the European Court of Human Rights -- has put the case in the fast lane:

The court has completed its preliminary examination of the case and has communicated it to the British government, asking it to justify how GCHQ's practices and the current system of oversight comply with the right to privacy under Article 8 of the European Convention. The court has also given the case a rare 'priority' designation. The government now has until 2 May to respond, after which the case will move into the final stages before judgment.
Any hopes the UK government may have had that the case would amble slowly through the legal system until people had forgotten about it have now been dashed. Moreover, it has been put on the spot by the court, which has asked a very specific question about how the UK government thinks it can square mass surveillance with the EU European right to privacy. It will be interesting to see how the UK responds.

Nor is this the only legal challenge to GCHQ's activities. In the December post, we reported that Amnesty International was using the UK's Investigatory Powers Tribunal to argue that spying on communications breaches the UK's Human Rights Act. Now we learn it has been joined by two others groups -- one from inside, the other from outside the UK:

Privacy International's partner organisation, Bytes for All, has filed a complaint against the Government, decrying the human rights violations inherent in such extensive surveillance and demonstrating how the UK's mass surveillance operations and its policies have a disproportionate impact on those who live outside the country.

Bytes for All, a Pakistan-based human rights organization, filed its complaint in the UK Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT), the same venue in which Privacy International lodged a similar complaint last July.
Privacy International's post quoted above points out that, just like the US, the UK offers fewer safeguards when it comes to overseas surveillance:
While such mass surveillance, in and of itself, is violative of human rights, that infringement is compounded where foreigners' phone calls, emails, or internet searches are intercepted as they currently receive even fewer legal protections than the communications of those who reside in the UK. In addition to violating Articles 8 and 10 of the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR), which protect private communications, such disparate treatment is a violation of Article 14 that prohibits discrimination of all sorts, including based on nationality.
None of these legal challenges on its own represents a serious threat to the UK government, but together they ensure that GCHQ's surveillance activities remain in the spotlight, and that the UK government is forced to justify its activities -- just what it is trying to avoid.

    There is a mistake in the report:
    »… how the UK government thinks it can square mass surveillance with the EU right to privacy.«
    You have to replace "EU" with "European". The European Court for Human Rights is not in any way associated with the European Union (EU), but established solely by the Council of Europe on the European Convention on Human Rights, which is why even many non-EU nations like Russia, Turkey, Norway or Switzerland are within the courts jurisdiction.

    A touch of hypocrisy?

    I find it fascinating that the European governments are gleefully kerb-stomping the U.K (and U.S.A) for these 'terrible' breaches of privacy. There is no developed government in the world that does not spy on foreign and domestic interests, blatantly disregarding laws for the sake of convenience. And most of the spying is done for trade rather than security reasons, too.

    The only crime the U.K. and U.S really committed was to be careless enough to get caught.

        Somewhat of an asinine question. Does Poland have a commercial or security-related reason to spy on Canada?

        If yes, then they are doing so.

          But spying on the others government is rude but normal.
          Spying on every single resident of a country is something completly different.
          Most of these people are complaining about spying on the general population. There is no fucking way that every other country is doing it as some of you think.

          For the record, I agree that governments should not be invading the privacy of common citizens willy-nilly. I agree that it is a gross abuse of power.

          I do not agree with those heads of state who are squealing like little girls with skinned knees, pointing fingers and stamping their feet because the Big Bad U.S.A is *gasp* not trusting the purity of their intentions and spying on them. Those leaders are either totally naive, or utter hypocrites.

          The game at that level changes to big kids rules, and those rules were old before the U.S was even a nation.

      Re: A touch of hypocrisy?

      I think Edward Snowden said basically the same thing. Some privacy and spying is important because you want to keep an eye on your powerful neighbors lest they suddenly turn evil. But you don't want to invade their piracy and dig up everything about them constantly unless you want to give them a darn well justified reason for kicking your butt after they find out.

      Re: A touch of hypocrisy?

      That is bullshit!

      UK has signed the european convension which is pretty broad, but in this case it is a question of the same sweeping broad programs like 215 and 702 in USA. By not focusing their investigation on data from specific suspects they do not have any oversight mechanism authorizing it. That is the crux of the problem. It is basically comparable to a SCOTUS case on 215s legality.

      What most other cladestine entities focus on is much more targeted surveillance and that would be OK. You calling everybody else black doesn't make them black. The broad and low effective ridiculously high data volume searching is an abomination completely disregarding what USA calls fourth amendment rights. That is what is at stakes here.

      It is not about the spying. It is about the dragnet surveillance the spying is conducted through. Dragnets are tools of totalitarian states, not democracies.

    the UK is trying to do the same as the USA, mainly because it is being a bed partner of the USA whilst being a dinner partner of the EU. add in the 2 supposed 'investigations' done in the UK by 'in house' committees, both of which, as expected, gave the results of 'nothing wrong' and we see how this case is exactly the same as in the USA. those who want to continue with the surveillance are doing what those in the USA are doing, saying there's nothing wrong, decrying those who want it to stop and carrying on anyway. i somehow doubt if there will be as slow responses from the EUCHR as there were from Congress. human rights mean a bit more to the EU than they do to the US

    This is, to me, an amazing story. The European Court of Human Rights fast tracks their case against the GCHQ. This is a direct result of Snowden's whistle blowing. It doesn't get much more serious than that. And yet, my country's administration still wants to hang him as a traitor. How did we get here?

    This is where publicity makes us do the wrong thing

    The Snowden revelations are being taken wrong.

    They reveal a corner of what is being done. Focus only on that and the problem is, arguably, made worse.

    I believe Germany intercepts 1 in 20 or 1 in 25 emails.
    Frances spy agencies are renown for aggressively using their resources to steal industrial secrets.
    Russia makes Internet users pay pretty directly for spy hardware that can intercept absolutely everything on the Internet without warrant.
    China...
    And we haven't even started on what the Internet Advertising agencies grab.
    Then the criminal gangs...
    ...

    Cherry picking who you whack is itself a mistake.

    We need whistleblower laws internationally that shine light on all of this. (Not just windfall revelations, thanks to one decent person. Seemingly, there are very few decent enough people, among the millions who work in this sector.)

RT Aninakah, Kobla Carbonu vs GK Acquah and see case J7/2/05.that join the obove name so call supreme court justices,office of parliament and office of counsel of state and electrol commision as respondents to the suit coram.W.A.Atugaba See how he(Atugaba} visited the treasonable misbehavior of his colleagues/paneling the case to single supreme court on the petitioner being applicant in his judgment dated11/ 23/04. No wonder they chief/justices refused to list the case J5/2/ 05 filed aginst them on 24/12/ 04,serve on them,No defence file,up todate Connivance in looting state coffers, media men in Ghana each given up to about over($ 90.000.00) ninty thousand dollars, is it for the gang up and or the salience?
    8. It is petitioner(s) hope world citizenry, the international coumunity,U N and its agencies, governments and head of Governments and it institutions would not look on and bring itself into disrepute and allow these historically barbaric cancar, these criminality/ terrorists/ traitors / treachery / wickedness / coupist / /mutineers/ cultists /witchery/wizards /envy and hatred for the petitioner(s) and truth /murderers / blood thirsty savages ( these demons are also in link with some wizards and witches claiming to be petitioner’s family/dependants/community members) this insanity tendency be perpetuated. And hope the world (leaders) will not appear cooperating/aiding/supporting this criminals/state or orders (from jurisdiction of Ghana) and or by inviting and or hosting them as honorable men and women.
    9. Until then any business done with this notorious criminals refer above (in the name of the republic of Ghana) is done at one’s own / country risk because this criminals are illegitimately contracting contracts recklessly and are in all forms of fraudulent alliances virtually as agents of their slave,(cult) masters, exploiting / selling, stealing the worth / resource of the people in the name of doing government business in the name of the people, thereby keeping the people impoverished and underdeveloped, to enable them (the criminals and their collaborators) perpetuate and entrench their slavery /neo colonial and demonic cultist agenda , for one day, the good people(of Ghana ) will not be responsible for this criminals actions and inactions.(what is more slavery or crime against humanity than one entering into an arrangement in which a Nation owed less than 50 percent “ share” of it owned “natural’’ resources?)
    10. As for the clergy the way they are conducting themselves, I hope if Jesus Christ came again they will not gang up with the politician and intend to kill and kill him again .
    11. The armed forces have a constitutional responsibility to intervene temporary, clean up this mess /this ‘’John John and Jimmie Jimmie” nonsense, restore the constitution hand over to a new clean civilian Government and quickly go back to barracks ( all this demons have soil their hands and are incapable of doing any clean up)

    NB My yahoo E-mail has been invaded and access tempered, I do not wont to think that it because yahoo is British owned organization.ICC web site claim it will not be dealing with cases before them and being dealt with in other united nations agencies or other regional bodies, how do people know it positions on issues, if ICC cannot communicate simple acknowledgment of receipt of their client petitions addressed to them, does this not raise contradiction issues on the claim independency of ICC What do UN/HRC and ICC do?. This petition was first transmitted to the petitioned(s) on 9/13/13.(with some modification) Petitioner was brutally attacked and or attempt to murder petitioner by agents/forces believe to be agents of the above mentioned criminals on
