39th Conference side event: Data Protection in Humanitarian Action

This panel event will explore issues surrounding the application of data protection and privacy principles in humanitarian action, to coincide with the launch of the Handbook on Data Protection in Humanitarian Action. The aim is to use the Handbook’s wide-ranging scope – encompassing the expert contributions made by the humanitarian, academic and private sectors and civil society as part of the 2016 working series organized by the International Committee of the Red Cross Data Protection Office and the Brussels Privacy Hub – as a springboard for discussion.
