<div style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">As Brazil formally asks the U.S. to explain how American surveillance programs harm Brazilians, and the European Parliament insists that this "serious violation" of its peoples' rights warrants an inquiry into state surveillance, the U.S. must confront its global human rights commitments to people beyond the purview of the U.S. Constitution.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">The United States has increasingly played a leadership role in international internet human rights battles. A cross-regional statement that the U.S. signed on June 10 emphasized online security measures must be "consistent with states' obligations under international human rights law and full respect for human rights must be maintained." The tension between this stance and the recent surveillance revelations has created a moment, as a global society, to discuss and implement appropriate checks and balances for the protection of privacy and freedom of expression online. U.N. Special Rapporteur Frank la Rue offers an authoritative view on privacy and freedom of expression, setting global standards for international behavior.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"> </p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;">Join us on July 16 for a conversation with Frank La Rue, who has developed landmark reports and guided the U.N. in taking a strong stand for human rights online. </p>
