The article examines to what extent the right to privacy, as respectively acknowledged by Art. 17 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights and by Art. 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights (1950), encompasses data protection principles and norms. By comparing the case law developed pursuant to both provisions with the relevant provisions contained in international instruments specifically dealing with data protection, it concludes that is Art. 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights that includes data protection principles and norms in a relatively more comprehensive fashion. That seems to be the effect of the shared "European roots" of both the European Convention on Human Rights and the main data protection instruments.
