ICTP 032: Balancing national security concerns and an individual’s right to privacy, with Grace Lindo

Attorney at law, Grace Lindo, discusses the uneasy tension that exists between a State’s concern about national security and an individual’s right to privacy, with a particular focus on what obtains in Jamaica, and the challenges that are being experienced there.
