Data Banks (1971, No. 12) (Open)

Conscious of the danger to the individual – in his life, liberty and personal safeguards (Art 3 of the Declaration of Human Rights) – represented by the setting up of data banks centralising a great mass of information on his private life, recommends to NFAs

• That they should give the most serious attention to this question;
• that they should support all action leading to effective legislation to control the setting up and use of such data banks; and
• that they should undertake some studies on the problems involved, with special reference to the rights of the individual.
