Privacy Rights/Conflicts with other Rights/Status
What specific examples of hierarchies, manifestos, constitutions, or prioritized descriptions of rights cite this right’s high status? Low status? No status at all?
The right to privacy is listed in many international treaties – the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (1948) , the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (1950) , the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (1966) , International Covenant on the Protection of All Migrant Workers and Members of their Families (1990) , and Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989) . The consistency with which it is held as a fundamental right certainly suggests it’s high status. The consistency with which it is present in many national constitutions confirms this suggestion (see “What is the oldest written source in this country that mentions this right” above).
