Officials from a number of countries, including Brazil, Uruguay, Denmark, Holland, and Hungary, have expressed interest in such a standard. Perhaps the most intriguing development thus far is a proposal by Germany\u2019s federal data protection officer, Peter Schaar, who has proposed adding a protocol to Article 17 of the United Nations\u2019 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, which protects against \u201carbitrary or unlawful interference with\u2026privacy, family, home or correspondence.\u201d1 This proposal, and the debate that accompanies it, have raised two key questions: 1) Is creating an enforceable global privacy standard even possible?; and, 2) If so, what form should this standard take?"}
