(Newsletter May 2023)

UNDP published a comprehensive guide to global standards on data protection. The report provides a framework to assist relevant stakeholders in the development of data protection and privacy legislation. It analyses key themes and principles in data protection law and practice, by analysing how all the major themes in data protection and privacy law and institutional frameworks are addressed in the major regional data protection and privacy frameworks. These include the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Privacy Framework, the Association of South-East Asian (ASEAN) Framework, the African Union Convention on Cybersecurity and Personal Data Protection, among others. The report was published as part of the Annual Work Plan of the UN Legal Identity Agenda Task Force and authored by the Centre for Communications Governance in the National Law University in Delhi.
