On{{nbsp}}10 December 1948, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the [[Universal Declaration of Human Rights]] (UDHR); while the right to privacy does not appear in the document, Article 12 mentions privacy: {{Blockquote |text=No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with their privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honor and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks. |multiline=yes |source=[https://www.un.org/en/about-us/universal-declaration-of-human-rights Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 12] }} Privacy is later codified in successive (hard) international human human rights treaties, including the [[International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights]]:<ref>{{cite web |title=International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (16 December 1966) |url=https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/international-covenant-civil-and-political-rights |publisher=UNGA Res 2200A (XXI) |access-date=12 November 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Yilma |first1=Kinfe |title=Privacy and the Role of International Law in the Digital Age |date=5 January 2023 |publisher=Oxford University Press |location=New York, United States |isbn=9780192887290 |url=https://academic.oup.com/book/45378}}</ref> # No one shall be subjected to arbitrary or unlawful interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to unlawful attacks on his honour and reputation. # Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks. ::β{{hair space}}[https://www.ohchr.org/en/instruments-mechanisms/instruments/international-covenant-civil-and-political-rights International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, Article 17]
