Privacy International has released its Privacy Ranking for 2007 (28/12-2007).
The picture is a detail of the report’s privacy map. Where black is the worst, pink/purple is bad, red is not good and so on. Privacy International writes about its own report:
The most recent report published in 2007, is probably the most comprehensive single volume report published in the human rights field. The report runs over 1,100 pages and includes 6,000 footnotes. More than 200 experts from around the world have provided materials and commentary. The participants range from eminent privacy scholars to high-level officials charged with safeguarding constitutional freedoms in their countries. Academics, human rights advocates, journalists and researchers provided reports, insight, documents and advice…The new 2007 global rankings extend the survey to 47 countries (from the original 37) and, for the first time, provide an opportunity to assess trends.
The report shows that the situation is worsening. Read the report here.
