Professor Beduschi has published new research, warning that ‘Sunset clauses’ should be introduced into relevant legislation to limit the use of COVID-19 certificates to just to the current pandemic and not beyond.
The research, published in the journal Big Data and Society, says the legislation providing the legal basis for the deployment of certificates must clarify key questions concerning data access, purpose limitation and data storage conditions.
Professor Beduschi said: “Limiting the duration of the usage of COVID-19 certificates clarifies that measures adopted during the pandemic are only justified within the exceptional circumstances of the present health crisis. Such an approach would set a clear precedent in favour of safeguarding individuals’ right to privacy in the event of a future pandemic.”
How does international law react to military cyber operations and how are international norms separated from international law in its context?
