A/77/196

The principles underpinning privacy and the protection of personal data are a structural part of the legal systems relating to those issues, as they fulfil the dual function of interpreting and integrating the regulatory framework. They are the most valuable and useful means of enabling data controllers and processors to properly process personal information, particularly in the face of the risk of misuse of information and communications technologies.
