All the states of the world should know that mass surveillance is similar to the NSA is a violation of inalienable human rights.
Over the past year, more than 360 organizations in more than 70 countries have joined together to create the International Principles for the Application of Human Rights to Communications Monitoring.
These 13 principles establish human rights before surveillance in different states. It is the basis of an international movement that forces all states to stop mass surveillance of innocent citizens. The principle already exists and is used in the national movement and international pressure against spies from the NSA.
