In 2013, the General Assembly requested the
Inter-American Legal Committee (CJI) to formulate proposals on “the
different ways to regulate the protection of personal data, including a
draft Model Law on Protection of Personal Data, taking into account the
international standards on the matter”. Following up on this mandate, the
CJI requested information from OAS Member States on their practices and
laws, conducted extensive consultations with experts and other actors
involved in the formulation of principles and practices on the protection of
personal data, including the European Union, APE , the OECD and
representatives of governmental, academic, business and non-governmental
organizations.
The CJI also observed the prevalence of
different levels of protection in the countries; the absence of a
uniform and coherent regional approach; and the dissimilarities in the
approaches that other regions of the world present on the subject, and
considered that the most important contribution that the CJI could make
to the countries in this matter was to formulate a kind of legislative
guide; a broad and general instrument based on the 12 Principles adopted
in 2012 by the CJI itself.
Thus, in 2015 the CJI
approved the
Legislative Guide on Privacy and Protection of Personal
Data, which explains the Principles adopted by the CJI itself in 2012
and serves as a roadmap to support the efforts of Member States to
implement or update their regulations on this topic.
