Article 29: Real-time collection of traffic data
- (ii) To cooperate and assist the competent authorities in the collection or
recording of; traffic data, in real time, associated with specified
communications in its territory transmitted by means of an information and
communications technology system.
Seriously? Will the authorities of state X simply ask the authorities of state Y to collect/intercept data, and will the authorities of state Y be required to cooperate even without a legal basis in their local legislation? Because this treaty become sufficient legislation?And more so:
3. Each State Party shall adopt such legislative and other measures as may be
necessary to oblige a service provider to keep confidential the fact of
the execution of any power provided for in this article and any
information relating to it.
I cannot imagine anyone with a functioning brain signing this at the UN level.
