    Open AccessHannah van Kolfschooten, Anniek De RuijterARTICLEArms Control2020Cited by: 1References: 3

    When disease becomes a threat to security, the balance between the need to fight the disease and obligation to protect the rights of individuals often changes. The COVID-19 crisis shows that the need for surveillance poses challenges to the right of privacy. We focus on the European Union (EU), which has a strong data protection regime yet requires its member states to exchange personal data gathered through contact tracing. While public authorit…
