France's intelligence law and human rights

Law 2015-912 of July 24, 2015 on intelligence, as a Text amending the Code of Internal Security, has a recent existence. It has provoked many reactions, so much so does it authorize the use of sophisticated techniques to gather information necessary to prevent any form of attack on the fundamental interests of the Nation. Analyzed from a human rights perspective, the Act complies with the Constitution and the European Convention on Human Rights, insofar as it contains sufficient guarantees. The aim of this study is to assess the proportional application of the Law. However, a careful analysis of the law reveals possible ways of circumventing it, which can sometimes lead to disproportionate interference with human rights.
