To the Human Rights Council:

As global citizens concerned with protection for our right to privacy, we urge you to take international action on the matter through the appointment of a Special Rapporteur on the Right to Privacy. Relying on individual states to take action provides insufficient protection; your action is needed to ensure our rights are respected.

Appoint a babysitter for Big Brother and protect our privacy
A movie about Edward Snowden just won best documentary at this year's Oscars -- and right now we have a rare chance to score another huge, global victory for protecting our privacy when the next Human Rights Council session starts on Monday.

Germany and Brazil are pushing to appoint an independent expert on the right to privacy to investigate the activities of governments-- and report the results publicly. Governments go to great lengths to avoid being investigated by these experts, and they've successfully shifted debate in other fields, including torture -- it's just what we need to ensure our right to privacy is enforced and respected.

Our governments have spied on us with impunity, passing secretive laws and storing our personal communications; it's time to turn the tables and give our Big Brother states a babysitter. So click now and back the supporters with a million-strong international call delivered straight into the meeting room.
