ICTP 032: Balancing national security concerns and an individual’s right to privacy, with Grace Lindo

In our increasingly digital world, there has been a growing vigilance by countries worldwide, including those in the Caribbean, with respect to national security. In many jurisdictions, it has resulted in the creation of agencies that have broad and deep powers to collect and retain personal data – not only on their citizens, but on anyone who gets caught their net. Attorney at law, Grace Lindo, discusses the uneasy tension that exists between a State’s concern about national security and an individual’s right to privacy, with a particular focus on what obtains in Jamaica, and the challenges that are being experienced there.
