Author(s): Praveen Singh Chauhan and Prashant Kumar Gangwar
Abstract: The rise of digital technologies has revolutionized communication, commerce, and governance, but it has also raised profound challenges for human rights, particularly concerning cybersecurity and data protection. This research explores the intersection of digital human rights with the jurisprudence of cybersecurity and data protection, analyzing how legal frameworks have evolved to address emerging threats to privacy and security in the digital world. As society becomes increasingly interconnected through the internet and digital platforms, questions regarding the balance between individual freedoms and state-imposed security measures have become paramount. The paper examines the concept of digital human rights, with a particular focus on the right to privacy, data protection, and freedom of expression in the digital age. It explores how various international human rights instruments, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR), have been adapted to address digital challenges. Additionally, the study delves into the jurisprudential foundations that shape the legal understanding of digital rights, highlighting philosophical debates on privacy, security, and state surveillance. The paper proposes a comprehensive approach to addressing these challenges by advocating for stronger international cooperation, clearer legal standards, and increased public awareness to protect individuals’ digital rights while ensuring robust cybersecurity measures.
