The text "A Universal Declaration of Human Rights" was ratified on 10 December 1948. -- I am personally especially interested in noting that Article 12 recites: > No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation. Everyone has the right to the protection of the law against such interference or attacks Even recently some critical legislative proposals in the European Union started reminding that Europe recognizes the right to privacy... To then continue after declaring that such right is "proportioned" (as if, "just relative as opposed to an absolute right"). In fact, it is part of the Declaration of Human Rights, in strong definite terms.
