- Title
An Analysis of New Zealand Intelligence and Security Agency Powers to Intercept Private Communications: Necessary and Proportionate?
- Authors
COOPER, SIMONE
- Abstract
The intersection of rapid technological change and global terrorism has created a problem for intelligence and security agencies that protect their home states. In response, Western legislatures have widened interception powers. This has privacy and security consequences for all users of communications technologies. This article analyses recent changes to the law governing communications interception in New Zealand and places these changes in a global and local context. It measures the Telecommunications (Interception Capability and Security) Act 2013 and the Intelligence and Security Act 2017 against the International Principles on the Application of Human Rights to Communications Surveillance. Ultimately, this article argues that the New Zealand legislative framework fails to comply with this international best practice.
