About the Organiser

Centre for International Trade Law (CITL) is a research centre of National Law University Odisha (NLUO), set up in 2015 with the vision of encouraging research in the domain of international trade law through a wide variety of activities including webinars, conferences, publications etc.

The Centre has published a book on ‘Trade Facilitation and the WTO’ in collaboration with the Cambridge Scholars Press.

About the Webinar

The WTO is a trade organization but its scope is expanding to the control and regulation of production as well. The fisheries agreement currently being negotiated is the latest example. The increasing concern about the consequences of growth in trade and consumerism for the ecology of the planet has intensified the trade and environment debate.

But tussle continues as to which side the concept of sustainable development should tilt, on the side of the environment or development. The lack of consensus on the draft Fisheries Agreement under the WTO is a reflection of this tussle.

The idea of sustainable fishing is based on the US policy of Maximum Sustainable Yield (MSY) adopted in 1948. Although claimed to be based on science it was guided more by international politics and economics.

Writers have since long criticized MSY and attributed the depletion of fish stocks to US policy and industrial fishing. Scientists argue that the ocean is different and techniques and policies employed for agriculture management cannot be transposed to manage the ocean environment.

Instead of concentrating on particular fish species, the focus should be on the assemblage of fish species. The draft Agreement appears to be based on the MSY policy.

Moreover, the draft lacks the support of many developing countries. This is because the provisions relating to subsidies allegedly do not take into account the concerns of coastal less developed countries and their farmers for whom subsidy is a question of livelihood.

Submission Guidelines

• Original papers within 5000 words are invited from teachers, researchers, students and others for presentation in the webinar.
• The paper is to be written in Times New Roman, Font Size: Heading-14, Text-12 in A4 format, Line Spacing-1.5, Alignment-Justified.
• Authors are requested to adhere to the Bluebook (21st ed.) citation format for footnoting in Times New Roman Font 10 size with Line Spacing-1.
• There can be a maximum of one Co-Author on a paper.
• All submissions (Abstract and full-length paper) must be made in .doc or .docx format only.
• The Abstract and full-length paper should be in English language. The working language of webinar and presentations shall be English.
• Only one paper per participant will be permitted. Multiple submissions will lead to disqualification.
  Papers may relate to but are not limited to the topics mentioned below:
  • Challenges for the preservation of fish stocks
  • International initiatives for the preservation of fisheries
  • Impact of international trade on fisheries
  • Contribution of subsidies to the depletion of fish stocks
  • Livelihood of small fishermen in developing countries
  • Prospective participants may contribute to any other issue related to the webinar topic.

INTRODUCTION

With the advent of social media and networking it is difficult to maintain privacy with the data available online. Data on the internet is flowing like water in the river. If the information of someone is available on the internet which the person has relevant context now or the reason for which it was there on the internet has been served is affecting the other person emotionally or making it difficult for another person to live peacefully. Then, it is a violation of article 21¹. This can be removed through the right to be forgotten which is provided under the right to privacy.

Right to forgotten means the deletion of the user’s personal information from the search engine, website, and many more. The European Union acquired the General Data Protection Bill [GDPR]² in the year 2018. Article 17 of this bill provides certain rights to the erasure of personal information and the certain rights include which are no longer necessary, consent has been withdrawn for particular information, and where there is legal obligation to erase. There are also some reasonable restrictions to some extent like in the area of public interest related to public health, or the data required in achieving historical, statistical, or scientific research.³

The right to be forgotten is to be followed in other countries also. In 2014, in Spain, the European court of justice managed a case Google Inc V Agencia Espanola De Proteccion De Datos in which a Spanish man whose name was Mario Costeja Gonzalez asked google to remove his information related to the auction for his unbridled home and the debt he had subsequently paid. Google was sued under the National High court which suggested a series of questions to the European court of justice. The court ruled the judgment in the favour of the Spanish man and asked google to delete the information.

In 2016, the first case of the right to be forgotten was heard by the Chinese court in Beijing in which they held that the residents don’t have the right to be forgotten. In this case, Ren Jiayu asked the Chinese web search tool Baidu to remove the search list that is related to Wuxi Taoshi’s previous business. Ren argued that the right of name and right of notoriety is reserved under Chinese law. Then the court ruled the judgment against Ren and said that he doesn’t have a right to be forgotten.

RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN UNDER THE PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION BILL

The right to privacy is our fundamental right under article 21 of the Indian constitution decided in the case of Justice K.S Puttaswamy Vs the Union of India⁴ in 2017. Data is a very sensitive thing that needs to be protected. The personal data protection bill⁵ was introduced in the Lok Sabha in 2019 with the objective to protect or conserve the data from getting into the wrong hands. This bill also includes the right to be forgotten under clause 20 of chapter V. it means that any person can ask the data fiduciary to remove or limit the data of the concerned person. The role of data fiduciary is to decide the means and the purpose of controlling the personal data it can be anyone an individual, entity, state, or cooperation. The data will be monitored by the Data protection authority and any removal of data has to be approved by the Data protecting authorities’ adjudicating officer. The officer has to see many aspects like the public interest in the concerned data, the extent of availability susceptibility, or the scope of divulgence before approving the removal of the data.

RIGHT TO BE FORGOTTEN VS THE FREEDOM OF SPEECH AND EXPRESSION

“Right to be forgotten is the biggest threat to freedom of speech and expression in the coming decade”
-Jeffrey Rosen

The right to be forgotten is a much-needed statute nowadays to protect the individual interest against defamatory or derogatory statements. Freedom of speech and expression is our fundamental right under article 19⁶ of our Indian constitution and also contains reasonable restrictions under Article 19[2]⁷. Whereas the right to be forgotten can undermine the lusture of freedom of speech and expression. It can affect journalism it will be difficult for media to express their views freely and to wait for the decision of the adjudicating officer. If any person wishes to delete some information on the internet then it will favor the individual, not the society at large. This will also create a sense of feeling in the minds of the people that they are not free to express their views through articles, books, blogs, etc.

CASE LAWS

• Jorawar Singh Mundy Vs Union Of India and Ors⁸
  In this case, the petitioner was an American citizen who visited India in 2009. He got acquitted under the narcotics drugs and substance [NDPS] act, 1985. After two years trial court convicted him on April 30, 2011. On 29 January 2013 through the appeal of state, the Delhi high court then affirmed her acquittal. After returning to America petitioner realized that the Delhi high court’s judgment is available on the internet and this can be harmful to his reputation or while screening test done by the employer. He sent directions to Google India Private Ltd., Google LLC, Indian Kanoon, and vLex.in but the judgment was not deleted then he filled a writ petition before the Delhi High Court for the violation of Article 21. The Delhi high court directed the respondents to delete the judgment.
  
• Dharmaraj Bhanushankar Dave Vs State of Gujarat and ors⁹
  In this case, the petitioner filed a writ petitioner under Article 226 of the Indian constitution before the Gujarat High court for the violation of Article 21. The non-reportable judgment was published by the Indian kanoon on their site and the petitioner contended that google and Indian kanoon has no right to publish any non-reportable judgment. The court held that the judgment was part of the proceeding and that merely publishing judgment on online websites will not amount to be reported. So, it is not a violation of Article 21 and there is no legal rationale to remove the judgment.
  
• Subhranshu Rout Gugul Vs State of Odisha¹⁰
  In this rape case, the accused has created a fake id on Facebook and uploaded objectionable photos of the prosecutrix on the fake id. The police were failed to take any strict action against the accused. The pictures were taken with the consent of the prosecutrix at the time they were in a relationship but now they got separated. It was observed that consent does not mean to misuse the phots or outraging the modesty of the women. In this case, the right to be forgotten should be exercised. The court held that the photo should be removed to protect the privacy of the victim. Irrespective of ongoing criminal cases. The Odisha High Court further noted that the Indian Criminal Justice system is more of a sentence-oriented system, with little emphasis on compensating victims for their losses and suffering. Allowing such offensive photographs and videos to remain on a social networking platform without a woman’s agreement is an outrage to her modesty and, more crucially, her right to privacy.

CONCLUSION

Information in the public domain is like toothpaste. They can not completely be deleted if someone has taken a screenshot or screened the concerned content. the right to privacy is our fundamental right under article 21 of the Indian constitution which needs to be protected. The right to be forgotten is also included in the personal data protection bill, 2019 which is a great step towards the safety of data and the privacy of the individual. In case one person was acquitted under any criminal action but later on find to be innocent and the judgment is reported on many websites or search engines. It can be difficult for the employee to get a job as during the screening process this can destroy the reputation of the employee. The right to be forgotten can be a major relief and can ask for the removal of the judgment. Also in the case when a person with the intention of taking revenge or with the feeling of animosity posts or share any picture or video which is offensive or outrages the modesty of the victim through the right to be forgotten victim can make them deleted. It is been a debatable topic whether the right to be forgotten undermines the fundamental right the freedom of speech and expression under Article 19 which also contains reasonable restrictions under Article 19[2] of the Indian constitution. If a person asks to remove some content from the website or from the internet then it can also cause feelings among the people that they are not free to express their views and opinion through writing articles, blogs, etc and the removal of the concerned content can lead to being in the favor of the individual rather than the society at large. According to me, it requires judicial administration, and article 19[2] which provides reasonable restrictions should be amended and should include privacy in it.
