THE PROTECTION OF PERSONAL DATA - AN ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF THE FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHTS

Abstract

In terms of human rights in general, and their promotion and protection, especially, developments have been and will continue to remain diverse and complex. This aspect addresses equally the concerns about the identification of human rights, as well as the establishment, consecration of methods and mechanisms that can lead to the promotion and protection of human rights through legal instruments. A faithful reflection of such developments on the protection of personal data of individuals is provided to us by the reports of the European Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of the Regions and presented starting from 2010, after the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union became legally binding on 1 December 2009, with the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon.
