9. cf. Universal Nature of Data Protection Principles
The Montreux Declaration of 2005
There are some arguments:
The Declaration appeals for UN to prepare binding
legal instrument.
To what extent does the Declaration have effects?
Are the Montreaux Principles elevated as Global Standards?
Then
Does UNESCO have such capacity as appealing for
governments, international organizations, NGOs
and businesses to do something special?
Do the Participants in the Seoul Forum represent the
Privacy Protection Initiatives?

10. To Recognize the Universal Nature of Principles
Point of departure:
- Lawful collection and processing of personal information
Purpose-specification and limitation
Accuracy
Proportionality
Transparency or Openness
Individual participation
Non-discrimination
Data security
Responsibility
Independent supervision
Adequate level of protection in case of TBDF

11. Draft DecIaration Subject: All the Participants or Someone else?
Object: To Whom is the Action Programme operative?
- Data Subject
- Private Sector or Businesses
- NGOs
- Governments
- International Organizations
Any Agreement Available?
- Enhancing Awareness, Technological advancement, Public-
Private Partnership, Sustainable UNESCO Network, etc.

12. Conclusion The right to privacy is a human right and is essential
for free and self-determined human development in the
knowledge-based society.
As Prof. Greenleaf said, there is no one way forward
for the development of privacy standards at present
in the Asia-Pacific Region.
So an Action Programme is required in the fields of
Education, Technology and the Institution
based upon the Consensus.
