Nous regrettons de devoir annoncer que cette conférence a dû être annulée.

Le Centre des politiques en propriété intellectuelle et Tech Law 69Ƶ accueillent Asaf Lubin. M. Lubin est affilié avec le Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society à Harvard, il est chercheur en résidence du Information Society Project de la Yale Law School ainsi qu'un chercheur invité du Federmann Cybersecurity Research Center de la Hebrew University.

Il discutera d'un de ses articles scientifiques, dans lequel il examine le fondement normatif de l'existence des droits à la vie privée et à la protection des données en période de conflit armé en s'appuyant sur une application concurrente des droits la personne et du droit international humanitaire.

[En anglais seulement] The Lieber Code of 1863, one of the earliest attempts at codifying the laws of war, set the principle that the “privation and disturbance of private relations” during armed conflict must be treated as the exception and not the rule. It would take 27 more years before Warren and Brandeis would publish their landmark 1890 Harvard Law Review article, which laid the cornerstone for the international recognition of the fundamental human right to privacy. Nonetheless, the right did not find any explicit mention, let alone specific protection, in either the Hague Regulations of 1899 and 1907, Geneva Conventions of 1949, or Additional Protocols of 1977, nor in customary international humanitarian law (IHL).

Mr Lubin's paper identifies the normative foundation for the existence of the rights to privacy and data protection in times of armed conflict by relying on the concurrent application of human rights law and IHL. His paper also examines such issues as the data protection obligations of a belligerent occupier towards the civilian population in the occupied territories; the rights of POWs, detainees, refugees, and those internally displaced over their electronic devices and data stored in the cloud; the restrictions imposed on wartime SIGINT collection for aerial targeting and offensive cyber attacks; and the obligations imposed on international organizations and Courts in the collection of digital evidence for jus post bellum criminal investigations.
