What kind of safeguards does the Convention contain to protect the rights of individuals under the Convention?
Article 15 requires Parties to establish conditions and safeguards to be applied to the powers established in articles 16-21. Those conditions and safeguards must adequately protect human rights and liberties, such as privacy. Article 15 lists some specific safeguards, such as requiring judicial supervision, which should be applied where appropriate in light of the power or procedure concerned. The Article also requires Parties to consider (to the extent consistent with the public interest and sound administration of justice) the impact on third parties (such as service providers) of the powers and procedures listed in the section. ER paras. 146 and 214 list further safeguards that national laws should contain.
