    Council of Europe promotes personal data protection in Latin America

    Jörg Polakiewicz is head of the human rights policy and development department in the Council of Europe

    The Council of Europe is promoting international co-operation in the field of personal data protection, in particular by encouraging non member states to ratify the Convention for the protection of individuals with regard to Automatic Processing of Personal Data, also known as Convention 108. Uruguay has started the process for its ratification and therefore may become the first non-Council of Europe member state to accede to the convention.
