Chamber judgment concerning Sweden
19/06/2018
In the case of Centrum för rättvisa v. Sweden the Court held that there had been no violation of the Convention.
The applicant, a public interest law firm, alleged that legislation permitting the bulk interception of electronic signals in Sweden for foreign intelligence purposes breached its privacy rights.
The Court found that overall the Swedish system of bulk interception provided adequate and sufficient guarantees against arbitrariness and the risk of abuse. It took into account the State’s discretionary powers in protecting national security, especially given the present-day threats of global terrorism and serious cross-border crime.
