Abstract:

The advent of the War on Terror has witnessed an unprecedented expansion of surveillance practices by states in the name of national security. This research paper critically examines the intricate relationship between surveillance measures and human rights, particularly the right to privacy and freedom from arbitrary interference. Through a comprehensive analysis of international legal frameworks, case studies, and recent developments, the paper aims to shed light on the balance between security imperatives and the protection of individual rights.

Keywords: Surveillance, Human Rights, War on Terror, Privacy, National Security, International Law.
