Download Manuscript doi.org/10.70183/lijdlr.2024.v02.2 The right to privacy is a fundamental human right that has evolved significantly over time in response to changing societal values and technological advancements. This paper aims to investigate the concept and articulation of privacy, trace its historical development through landmark legal cases, and identify the challenges facing privacy in the digital age. The rapid growth in surveillance and data proliferation raises major concerns for individual privacy, necessitating a thorough examination of the current legal frameworks and regulations intended to protect this right. While laws have been enacted in various jurisdictions to control the use of personal data, inconsistencies and inadequacies persist. This research draws from existing literature and case law to highlight the ongoing tension between the right to privacy and society’s demands for security. The paper advocates for reforming legal protections and ethical guidelines that support privacy and applying those guidelines in a manner that not only preserves and protects privacy but also upholds it in light of advancements in state surveillance capabilities. In conclusion, the right to privacy faces significant challenges in the digital age, and there is an urgent need for comprehensive legal reforms and ethical guidelines to safeguard this fundamental human right. Policymakers must strike a balance between individual privacy and societal security, ensuring that privacy is protected without compromising legitimate security concerns.
