ITU

The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) was established in 1865 as the “International Telegraph Union” with 20 founding members, including our country. On October 15, 1947, it became a specialized agency with international legal personality, operating under the United Nations. The rapid development of surveillance technologies has improved public safety and security, but it has also raised critical concerns about privacy, data protection, and the ethical use of personal information. It is essential to establish clear regulations and oversight to ensure these technologies are used responsibly while respecting individual rights and freedoms. At the same time, many current surveillance systems remain vulnerable to cyberattacks, data breaches, and outdated security measures. Addressing these weaknesses are a must because as technology progresses, humanity will be better at collecting sensitive information and if they are not stored properly many problems will arise.
