GCHQ-NSA intelligence sharing unlawful
A multi-partisan activist group established to expose and resist US imperialism, corpora-terrorism, and the New World Order
GCHQ-NSA intelligence sharing unlawful | 6 Feb 2015 | Britain's electronic spy agency was acting unlawfully — until December — when it received intelligence provided by the U.S. National Security Agency, a British court ruled Friday. The Investigatory Powers Tribunal, a court that oversees the intelligence and security agencies, said that Britain's spy agency, GCHQ, was violating human rights when it received the intercepted communications from the NSA because it had not made details of the procedure and its safeguards on it public. In its ruling, the court said that “the regime governing the soliciting, receiving, storing and transmitting by UK authorities of private communications of individuals located in the UK” by the NSA breached Articles 8 or 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights, because GCHQ’s safeguards were kept secret. Article 8 refers to the right of privacy, while Article 10 covers freedom of expression.
