Establishing an international Media Tribunal for ensuring global oversight over data privacy issues

Key Concerns that need to be addressed by an International Media Tribunal:

Addressing gaps in coverage
Addressing new technologies
Managing cross-border data transfers
Balancing surveillance and data protection
Strengthening enforcement
Determining jurisdiction
Managing the compliance burden

Benefits of an international Tribunal
In all countries with successful data protection laws, a single independent national data protection regulator is observed. This must be opted internationally too. A single central regulator leads to the following benefits:

single point of contact for Foreign companies
single set of guidelines
single regulator for queries or complaints for consumer
single, impact, consistent set of rulings

Feasibility Challenges for Tribunal:

Resource constraints for implementation
non-binding nature of laws
dispute resolution procedures often lead to conflicts
Getting the balance wrong between data protection and data flows can have serious consequences for either the protection of fundamental rights or for international trade and development.
