Video surveillance in the workplace is an intrusion into the private life and is subject to specific requirements
- 04/12/2017
With Judgment of 28th November 2017, the European Court of Human Rights has examined the case of two Montenegrin university professors, who complained about the unlawfulness of the video surveillance equipment installed in the auditoriums where they held classes.
The Court has observed that, in general, video surveillance of an employee in the workplace must be considered as an intrusion into the his private life. Such interference can only be justified if it is in accordance with the national law and also if it complies with the other requirements set forth in art. 8, par. 2, of the European Convention for the protection of humans rights and fundamental freedoms.
The Court has then upheld the application of the two professors, given that, according to the national law, public institutions, such as a University, are allowed to install video surveillance in the areas of access to official premises, but not also, unless properly justified, in official premises, such as in the auditoriums where classes are held.
