Resumen
Las filtraciones de Edward Snowden demostraron al mundo la existencia de programas de vigilancia masiva implementados por Estados Unidos y otros aliados. Tales programas, supuestamente, estaban dirigidos a la recopilaciĆ³n de informaciĆ³n para la prevenciĆ³n y represiĆ³n del terrorismo, pero en la prĆ”ctica implicaron violaciones inaceptables al derecho fundamental a la privacidad no solo de ciudadanos estadounidenses, sino de otras nacionalidades. Diversos actores de las Naciones Unidas y otras organizaciones internacionales han reaccionado mediante la elaboraciĆ³n de informes que manifiestan una elevada preocupaciĆ³n por el fenĆ³meno de la vigilancia transnacional de masas y que pretenden ensalzar el discurso de los derechos humanos como lĆmite contra las injerencias en la privacidad. En este contexto, el Tribunal de Justicia de la UniĆ³n Europea pronunciĆ³ en el aƱo 2015 la sentencia Schrems que invalidĆ³ una decisiĆ³n de la ComisiĆ³n Europea sobre el Acuerdo de Puerto Seguro que regulaba la transferencia de datos personales desde la UniĆ³n Europea a Estados Unidos. Este trabajo analiza crĆticamente dicha sentencia, porque ofrece interesantes aportaciones para la protecciĆ³n de los derechos a la privacidad y la protecciĆ³n de los datos personales, habiĆ©ndose convertido en un leading case de referencia obligada para la resoluciĆ³n de casos similares.
The leaks made by Edward Snowden showed the world the existence of mass surveillance programs implemented by the United States and other allies. Such programs, supposedly, were aimed at the collection of information for the prevention and suppression of terrorism, but in practice involved unacceptable violations of the fundamental right to privacy not only of American citizens, but also of other nationalities. Various actors of the United Nations and other international organizations have responded by elaborating different reports that show concerns about the phenomenon of transnational surveillance of masses, and which seek to oppose the human rights discourse as a limit against interference to privacy. In this context, the Court of Justice of the European Union in the year 2015 delivered the Schrems sentence that reversed a decision of the European Commission on the safe harbor agreement governing the transfer of personal data from the European Union to the United States. This paper critically analyzes this sentence, because it offers interesting contributions to the protection of the rights to privacy and the protection of personal data, and has become a leading case of reference for the resolution of similar cases.
