Centrum för Rättvisa v. Sweden
June 2018
Court Decisions
Summary
“Centrum för Rättvisa” – a Swedish non-profit foundation established in 2002, represents clients in litigation against the State, focusing on rights and freedoms under the Convention and Swedish law. It engages in daily sensitive communications via email, telephone, and fax with individuals and organizations domestically and internationally. The foundation fears its mobile communications may be intercepted through signals intelligence, which involves intercepting, processing, and analyzing electronic signals, including communication content and metadata. Signals intelligence can target both airborne and cable-based communications, though most relevant traffic is cable-based. Centrum för rättvisa has not pursued domestic legal remedies, asserting there is no effective recourse for its complaints under the Convention.
