The United States and its key
intelligence allies are quietly working behind the scenes to kneecap a mounting
movement in the United Nations to promote a universal human right to online
privacy, according to diplomatic sources and an internal American government document
obtained by The Cable.
The diplomatic battle is playing
out in an obscure U.N. General Assembly committee that is considering a
proposal by Brazil and Germany to place constraints on unchecked internet
surveillance by the National Security Agency and other foreign intelligence services.
American representatives have made it clear that they won't tolerate such
checks on their global surveillance network. The stakes are high, particularly in
Washington -- which is seeking to contain an international
backlash against NSA spying -- and in Brasilia, where Brazilian President
Dilma Roussef is personally involved in monitoring the U.N. negotiations.
