  • Summary

    With technological implementations becoming more and more intrusive and with laws challenged by rapid technology developments, European citizens have become particularly vulnerable to un(der)-regulated biometric surveillance practices. Despite promising regulatory initiatives, there appears to be an acute social need for concrete rules to ban, halt, sanction, or frame specific practices that interfere with fundamental human rights, including the right to privacy and personal data protection. This chapter argues that the global reach, global risk, or possible global harm of contemporary biometric surveillance practices can be adequately addressed by concrete law-making and uniform enforcement with a view to jointly scrutinising and, where needed, jointly banning, halting, or sanctioning specific technological uses.
