The GNCHR Reference Report on the institutional framework for the oversight of security and intelligence services

The GNCHR decided to draw up a Reference Report on the institutional framework for the control of security and intelligence services, which was announced in the the Press Release of 23.01.2023. The role of security and intelligence services in the fight against crime and the protection of national security is crucial. On the other hand, their work interferes with the enjoyment of human rights and places restrictions on ensuring the confidentiality of communications and the protection of personal data, which are two pillars of the rule of law.
