Translations:PPL Surveillance internationale/Analyse/5/en

This proposed law very clearly seems to have as its object to legalise existing practises disclosed by L'Obs. The vocabulary is interesting because it speaks no longer of an intelligence law but of international surveillance. It deals with massive surveillance of international communications, unrelated to possible threats. And oversight of the CNCTR, too weak in the framework of national intelligence, is next to nonexistent in this new bill. The text omits even a mention of agreements made among the various intelligence services of different countries (dealing with the exchange of data on their respective citizens, for example), leaving a gaping legal hole in agreements which can have severe ipacts on fundamental rights and on civil liberties.
