<P class=PrivacySurveybodytxt><O:P> (Abstracts from Privacy & Human
Rights Report. A survey of privacy law and developments in 78 countries.
(forthcoming).</O:P></P>
<P class=PrivacySurveybodytxt>Countries that host the Olympics increasingly
ignore privacy considerations in their preparation for the Games and beyond in
the name of security and counterterrorism. Violations of individuals’ privacy
under constitutional, statutory, and international frameworks range from the
loss of anonymity in public places to the inability to communicate and
associate freely with others. The coverage and capabilities of Closed Circuit
Television (CCTV) has risen dramatically from the Games in Athens, Greece to
the recent ones in Beijing, China. Technological advances incorporate CCTV
surveillance systems with those related to electronic wiretapping,
identification systems, and intelligence sharing. These purported
counterterrorism measures have been developed and implemented with the
assistance of foreign governments, some of which claim to support transparency
and democratic values. The record US$ 6.4 billion dollars China was spent on
surveillance equipment for the Games in Beijing represents a greater than
fourfold increase compared to the ones in Athens.<A
